Finally got the cam tower bolted down, the headers are just lightly bolted in place for show. They look chrome, but they're Jet-Hot coated in their "Extreme Sterling" finish, which they claim is good to 1700*. Block, head, cam tower and everything else that's black was powdercoated by Extreme Powdercoating, Springfield, VA.

And just a couple of "before" shots from Nov 2009:

I don't know if I'm more excited to drive her again, or if my wife is more excited about having an engine out of her laundry room...

That Jet Hot coating looks great and is meant to be just as effective. Nice!

Thanks guys. It's been a long time coming just to get to this point. I'm incredibly happy with how everything has turned out, but completing the "smaller" projects looks like it will take a ton of time too. Anyway, the goal is to get the engine back in the car over the Valentine's Day weekend.
