So, how did the new paint work out? I've always had good luck with several light coats of mopar paint, although still never as deep as painting with a gun.
. I decided not to paint everything ahead of time, and will wait until a little later. I did paint a test panel + the front of one mockup head and I like the color. I probably spent $150 on PPG stuff painting the 451, 18 years ago. The pro quality spray gun material produces a super thick, glossy, deep finish that looks really nice but sometimes bugs me. In a way it looks like the engine has been "dipped in plastic". It's a good way to go but decided to swing the other way on this one and see how it goes.

The Indy cover doesn't fit under a stock water pump housing and it doesn't have a timing pointer.... Yep but The AR engineering motor plate will act as a spacer, and timing pointer can just be a 5 dollar sheet metal thing, I'd be happy to with that. I don't have a hub for my damper yet so the longer version would be needed if I went down that road. Correct, the Indy cover requires a longer hub which moves the pulley spacing. Lots of ripples to the pool. But if you know them all up front then you can work thru them..

Or, you can just put the dent in the stock cover.
Actually, the “early” covers with the double step raised area usually don’t need the dent.

It's still pretty cheap to change my mind at this point so I will keep messing with it and thinking about it.
Here's a shot with the other camera + tripod + cheap light experiment. I think this camera is the best one I've got. Now that the resolution is way up there it seems the lighting needs another upgrade.

Need a little more self-instruction on how to use the 100 settings on the camera or time to mess with them...I am clueless on aperature, shutter speed, and so on...these are in automatic mode, but regardless this seems like a big leap forward.
It looks a little artificial to light up specific areas but really pops and shows quite alot of detail in those spots (if that's what you want to do). You can see how the bottom areas are a little more shiny in the second picture. The first one looks much more natural.

Ended up going with Best for balancing and got a crash course in potential oiling issues/things to look for at no extra charge. Enough information was passed from Master to Customer/Student, it's probably going to take me about a week to digest it all and check it all out first hand to make sure I really get it. Thanks Chuck.

How is your build going? I wouldn't feel right doing that because of the way it was presented to me. It was a huge favor, and probably too complex to get into here anyway. It mostly revolved around characteristics of different parts combinations, and things to watch for with my specific combination.

Looked at my notes and my hemi's bobweight is 2650 grams, not 2450 like I told you yesterday. It's heavy! I'm using a 7.0" rod and some pretty thick pins...nitrous abuse.

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if your pistons we're close to 1/8" thicker than mine right where its needed. My pistons are, I think, Indy's shelf piston they use in their crate engine, so not designed for Any power adders. I say "I think" because I didn't get them directly from Indy so it's just a guess.
