Project 6-71 340 Demon

I have officially started building my 340 blower engine. The plan is to build a 340 up to withstand about 8 lbs coming from a 6-71 roots blower. Hopefully I will end up with 650 to 700 HP and 600 ft/lbs of TQ.
I got the block and heads back from the machine shop, (Thanks Rinaldi's), back in November and had it sitting in my garage waiting for me to finish hunting for this year.

I expect this will be a slow process as you have to pick your days to warm up the garage during the winter up here.

I finally got to it today. I used degreaser to get the layer of WD40 off of it, then washed it down and dried it with compressed air. After that I sprayed it with carb cleaner and taped it up.

The first pic is when I started. I then got 2 coats of high heat primer on it. The last pic is after I sprayed it with 3 coats of gloss black high heat enamel.
