The lower intake, block, heads, timing cover, and oil pan are the same color (Ford blue) as well.

Exactly.

Actually, it was paint them or replace them.  They were originally polished stainless and when I got them second hand they looked like shiznit so I sand blasted them and ran them.  I didn't like how they looked when the project started, so I made a choice.

I'm looking forward to that 427w Dart swap!

Well, here is the motor so far, with intake sitting on it. Have a few more details to iron out with the windage tray before bolting on the exterior:X

Still looking for a set of headers that will fit the AFR 205 heads with 4R70W auto. So far, I'm down to Kooks (which require an AFJ K-Member), CPR, and Anderson Motorsports...leaning towards CPR at the moment.

I cleaned up the ride a bit after 4 years of nothing done to the motor.  Cheap degreaser and a powerwasher.
