Painted my block/valve cover y7 mini me goin in next week :)
I'm getting my motor ready for the swap next weekend.
Its a y7 block with y8 head. Its my first time actual putting a motor together..had fun, once the clutch comes in, im gonna paint my tranny a new silver, and get everything together, and its going in a 88 red crx.
lemme hear what you guys think about the colors, red is staying, but im thinking a nice gunmetal with red letters for the valve cover.

lol, i originally had the cover polished, but i gave up and painted it, im thinking definitely gunmetal.
personally, i was gonna drop the dirty beast in there how i got it, but my friends into muscle cars and keepin it clean and talked me into painting it, so i went with red.
