Prepping the Engine Bay
Today we clean, de-grease, and scuff the engine bay to get it ready to paint! This took a lot of work, but it was totally worth it because it put us one step closer to finishing the engine bay.
Restoring the Cowl
We finally clean out and paint the dreaded area under the cowl of my 1965 Ford Falcon! I can not describe how disgusting it was to take every thing out of my cowl. Let me tell you, this was 100% the grossest things that I have done in my car so...

Measuring My Cylinder Bores
This is the moment of truth! We are measuring my cylinder bores with a dial bore gauge to see if we can just hone them and go, or if we'll need to take the engine to a machine shop. I really wanted to be able to do the engine myself, but because I know that...
Crankshaft & Camshaft

Fun With Pistons
Because this is a learning experience, mistakes are bound to happen. Today was one of those days. I got all of my pistons out and in the process, both over and under thought what I was doing. It's okay and I'll know more in the future!
Removing the Cylinder Head
Now that the engine is out, I needed to pull the cylinder head off my 200 straight 6. I carefully disassembled it and put everything into bags to put it back together later. I also got to do a little piston cleaning, too. My next huge goal is to get to Falcon...
