That motor is looking pretty boss…

Brilliant work! So, how well does it run? 
You did start it up to test it right?

Re: Revell 1970 Boss 302 Engine Build
LOL!!! Right you are Carlos!! Thanks guys.
Managed to get a little more progress done this morning. Added the exhaust manifolds to the mix. Spark plug wires came in and are now cut and prepped for install. Just have to form them to present a natural "lay" appearance and get 'em on there. Engine wire harness is also in the prepping stages. After that I think she'll be all done.
To achieve the corrugated aluminum sleeve on the passengers side manifold on the heat duct I just wound fine copper wire around the piping and painted a dull black.

Re: Revell 1970 Boss 302 Engine Build-Cont'd Progress
Thanks Johnny! lol Believe me....my eyes tell me that it's only a 2" long project.
Re: Revell 1970 Boss 302 Engine Build-Cont'd Progress
That looks the beans Joe, it really does. Ignition wires and the loom are really going to set this of. Time to fabricate an engine stand I think.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...
