Opinions on Wicked Engine Build

[INTERCOOLED]

Hey guys-

I got a wild hair and thought I would share some pics of my 10 sec. engine build. I will post more pics as the engine gets closer and closer to completion. Please feel free to let me know what you think and give me input on the set-up:

I have had the stock block bored .20 and added three main caps. Next I purchased an Eagle Forged Crank:

I also installed K1 H-Beam rods and Diamond Pistons:

Next came the Aluminum GN1 Heads:

Here's the fun part. I next purchased the Champion Intake, Champion Fuel Rails, Accufab 70mm Throttle Body with Dog House, and GN1 Valve Covers. THEN I had the engine painted like what I had envisioned. Note that the GN1 Heads were left their natural aluminum color. Also the tops of the valve covers, dog house, etc are sanded:

Why on God's green earth did you paint it Chevy orange ???

Now... I'm a Chevy guy to the core... but not so much that I'd paint my
Buick motor orange.
You should be strung-up by your testicles.

I was considering Buick Red for my new motor, your motor looks fantastic to me.

My new engine

That is definitely clean. I went with a lot of ceramic coated parts, black Champion irons and a grey block.

Thanks guys!

I really appreciate your support. I am really proud of it. I can't wait to get more of it together. I have a ton of parts that are being HPC coated. I will post pics of them when they arrive.

FWIW... It does look fantastic... Regardless of the color.

I'm just glad you picked Chevy orange instead of Ford blue.

This joker makes me laugh.:biggrin:


I had decided on orange over a year ago. This is my second GN and I wanted to build a special car. The orange is kinda keying off of the Power 6 emblem. It will look tight when it is all together and in a black car.

As far as the type of orange it is......I looked at all of the options. When going with orange the colors are limited. I wanted something BRIGHT.

All of the others, Mopar, etc, didn't work for me. This is the best before moving on to actual car colors.

Thanks alot! I guess it wouldn't be a big deal to post the pics on another site. But you might want to wait a few days and let me post some updated pics. It will only get better!

You know, the funny irony is, I painted a BBC very much like that... many years ago. :wink:
Everything was Chevy orange except the aluminum heads and intake...

I'll see if I can find a pic of it when I get home from work.
