I think the paint showed up a little better in this pic.. Oh and, thanks AJ_Fritz, roadkill.. (About how the block looks)

[Jesshwarren]

Looks nice. :) can't wait to hear it run.

[frosty1269u]

UPDATE - I messed up and, the paint was starting to come off.. So toke it all off.. Been working alot but, hoping to get it to the shop sometime this week to get the bore to 20 or 30 over.. My girl is trying to get me to paint the block purple.. I don't know what that but, I think I would be the only one with a purple 2.3 turbo that I know of.. What do you guys think should I go with the purple? More pics coming soon..

[nagelandy55]

That red/orange looked good. Ford blue always looks good IMO. Black also looks good .... but purple ..... i'm not sure about that one.
Its your block though!

[gumby]

depends on the color of the truck/rest of the engine bay

[frosty1269u]

Ya I think I'm going to stay with the Ford Red.. Thanks

Toke the block to the shop and, having it bored .30 over and having it honed for $80. Am I playing to much?

[Top Notch]
