I got started building this engine.Its a Chevy 502 Alley Rat.All the parts have to been sanded really good on the mating surfaces so everything fits together nicely.Better to find fit up problems now and fix them before you get to far into the build. I get the mating surfaces super flat by taping a sheet of 600 grt sand paper to a sheet of glass and holding the part flat I sand the surface in a circular motion until the whole surface has been sanded out to the edges.I keep test fitting the pieces till I get them right and theres not to much filling later.  I got some of the sub assemblies together before painting everything with alclad II black primer   All the pieces are now washed and ready for painting more pictures comin soon.Darcy  |
