Looks real nice. ^^^^^ Dustin^^^^^ You can probably use that satin clear on the stripe so it holds up.

Love the stripe, similar to what I want to do, but I'm bummed about having a raised edge. It's looking like Jerry Titus's trans am car.

Cam and head swap is going well. Engine only has about 900 miles on it. Looks purty inside!

Here's a few better quality pics of the motor going back together. Excuse the engine bay, it looks horrible and I have not had a chance yet to clean it up after paint and body. ...I will be shooting the rest of the motor black to match the heads also, instead of the hideous "cast-iron grey" it was before.
E303 cam, new Ford Racing roller lifters installed, APR head bolts, and Comp Cams double-roller timing chain.
...Next comes the Scorpion 1.72 rockers, hardened one-piece TFS push-rods, screw in 7/16" studs, and guideplates. I will also be mocking up the polished Toker 289 intake manifold to get a "gasket height" so I can properly port-match the runners.

The Doctor at work. One cylinder at a time, checking guide-plates and valve geometry/roller centers, marking everything as I go and properly torquing every stud and lock. Valve setup is actually one of my fortes, definitely something I take seriously. These should never need re-adjusted once I'm done.

Productive day! Motor is all back together, just a few minor things left and I can start her back up again.
