71 Roadster Motor Complete
I finally finished the motor. It was full of grease and grime and took forever to clean and prep for paint & powder coat.
For my high end restorations I always powder coat the blower housing, pull starter & air filter cover for durability.
The motor was sprayed with SprayMax automotive urethane spray paint. It's great paint for motors because it's gas & oil resistant - it's pricy ($40/can) but you only need 1 can to spray the motor and it's way better than the engine paint you buy at the auto parts store.
Fortunately I had a good motor to start with so I only had to replace all of the gaskets along with points, condenser & coil. The carb is a Tecumseh NOS service carb.
The decals are from Blackwidow Motor Sports
