However, originality was the goal on mine as there are/were some seriously anal judges out there. good luck and if you find a better mousetrap, please post so I can try it. unless your engine originally came from a 1963 1/2 Galaxie ?Īnyway. I thought the Thunderbolt was a 1964 Fairlane and the first year for the Galaxie with the 427 was 63 1/2. I take my engine out about every two or three years to redo it as it is much easier than keeping it in the car and I can redo the cast iron headers also. They go flat first and I have to touch them up about once a year. I went with multiple thin coats as opposed to several heavy coats. On my block, I cleaned it with lacquer thinner first, wire brushed it good, went over it with lacquer thinner again until clean and then Prepsol before spraying it. It`s a semigloss/flat black and good for about 1200 degrees, per Krylon. Don`t know if you are looking for a paint that is the same color as the 427`s were from the factory back then ( 19 ), but a very close match is made by Krylon.
427 ford engine codes code#
I`ve got a 63 1/2 Galaxie Q Code changed over to R Code specs that is fully restored. I have a 63 1/2 ford 427 HP out of a Thunderbolt. What product should i use to paint my engine and heads so that they dont flake or burn off due to the high heat. After all the tinkering over the last two year, the intake has gotten dirty and the paint has flaked off due to what i assume is high heat. So while i am at it, i am going to put the engine back to show room condition. What a pain since the push rods go through the intake. So my plans are that now that my engine is running great, i want to pull it out and replace some gaskets (intake mainly and oil pan) due to some leaks. No snow on the roads at all so the temptation couldnt be resisted. She started up great and after all temps got to STD, i took it around the block a couple of times. Actually took it out yesterday at minus 0 degree temperature up here in Canada. Myself, i am beginning a spring project on my car. Gentleman: Hoping everyone here is having good luck with thier project.
