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.

i would of have left it all stock, just real clean aluminum... block and all.. this reminds me of McDonald's.. good job of painting tho'...

 

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.

 

i like the valvecover but not the block but thumbup anyway...have fun with it.

 

I think you should've wasted less time with red paint, and spent more time with a wire brush. It's still filthy on the side.

 

aluminum block, gunmetal valve cover, polished letters.

painted motors are for domestics

The side where you wont see anything once the transmission goes on? Yea good job buddy....

 

IMO looks like poo poo but do what u want.. its your engine
