Painted the eaton and cleaned up the rest of the motor.

Had some spare time this week and decided to pull the eaton, change its oil and the IC fluid. Heres what it looked like before:

Eaton painted and sitting on the 302 Coffee table I built

Installed!

Looks great! Just enough black, just enough shine! I'd be tempted to spray the red battery top black too. It's clashing with your colors. Cool table too. Original.

Thanks man, I'm thinkin about getting a black battery cover for it. You're right it does stand out lol.

Looks good man but you cant be painting bolt heads , paint them silver with a brush or get new fancy ones.That top rad hose looks a little balooned out might be time for a new one or maybe its just the pic either way engine bay looks nice, apart from the red battery lol,,,cheers

Looks bangin!

Thanks! I'm planning to swap the eaton snout bolts with ARP hex bolts.

Looks amazing, makes me wish I would have done mine in more of a matte color.

Very nice job with painting your Eaton. How long did it take you to prep it for paint? And did you remove your hood when you pulled your Eaton? I noticed the hood was off in one of your photos.

Good looking Cobra!

Thanks Bob, it took me about an hour to prep it and then 3 coats of paint so it took the better part of the day. I did take the hood off, I think it made the job way easier that way. Also made cleaning easier. Wish I had done it sooner, very happy with the result

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

That looks good

Now you need to get some powdercoated valve covers

 

[thirtytwovalve]

True, I don't think I want to pull them off until I do cams. Not sure what color to do either

I went with black. Heres a pic when I was running a Posi port

And here's one with the whipple

 

[thirtytwovalve]

I like the black valve covers but I think in a black engine bay I need to go with a brighter color like ford blue or red. Nice Whipple btw

 

[selbyvince]

[badazzebz06]
