Randy will do even if I have to back down to a 235 tire it does have to fit and look right . This was all about refreshing the memory since those tires are up north with the 37 at the moment .

Bobby - get into the Tire Rack site and find a tire you like. When you check the specs on the tire page, you will find a diameter and cross section. It's amazing how much info they have once you figure how to navigate the site -- Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels ----- I spent many hours there looking at tires for mine. I originally had Yokohama AVS 'Z' rated on all four corners, but when I went to the 17" rear wheels, had a problem finding a larger diameter tire, so the rears are Dunlop's, but not 'Z's' (the car wont go fast enough for 'Z' tires anyhow)

Thanks for the info Dave , well as always the house got in the way with a new interior paint and carpet so that has had me busy . I have been collecting some 401 parts and hope to cover it up and get the paint stripped off .

Well Since the por 15 kit was here , I spent sometime Tuesday night going threw the the processes . I like the new color on the 401 , the kit comes with only one pint . Well spraying you lose some in e the air . I did the block , and 1 head and got a light coat on the other head and intake . Tonight I ordered 2 more pints of it to finish it all hopefully .

I have the valve covers to do and the valley pan with the oil pan , plus add a coat to head and intake .

The head shows the true color of the paint .

Looking very nice Bobby.

Thanks Steve .

Yeah, Bobby, the engine is looking great! At least one of us is posting some pics of our progress.....

Mike, not all of us have a huge former dance hall to build our cars in! (where did the freakin' emoticons go?? I need some visual expression here beyond LOL or HaHa!...;-) )

Bobby,
What is that stuff you used to mask off the engine? It looks like a board of some sort glued to the engine then cut to shape.

Jack.

This valley cover might look nice = from O'Brian Trucker's( Still waiting for Catagory Page Title to show up - O'Brien Truckers )

Jack it is just painters tape I over laid it down and trimmed with a exacto knife . Tape held up well to every chemical including paint stripper .
