Don't remember now but it probably seemed easier at the time. What does Haynes say? Mortal sin?

I'm not sure what Haynes says.. I find it "odd" that 2 pics posted in a single thread and both engines have the shift rod on them.

I find it a serious pain in the backside to drop the engine/trans with the bar in the way.

Your only one shift rod pin away from removing it completely at this point. I dont take any chances with bending the rod.

Looks GOOD !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

What have you done to the intake runners ?? Are thy painted blue or is it some kind of coating ?? How about the plenium, is it zinc-coated ?? They look great.

I think that's the best I've seen yet. Very cool!
I don't keep an engine together long enough to justify painting it.

Dave, Great looking engine. Very Nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Jeff, Your engine may need a little sprucing up, but that garage door looks good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Brad, the reason I left the shift rod on was that the cone screw at the tranny end was stuck. I tried to get it out and it started to strip, I figured I would leave the rod on instead of f*cking it up more. Will fix it before it goes back in.
The intake runners are painted with a dupli color anodize look paint. The plenum, oil filler box and other steel components were sandblasted and polished on the wire/buffing wheel then clear coated.
Regards, Dave
