I don't have a shot handy but there is one in the Aug. 2013 HPP shootout article with a cast iron intake. I have a painted RPM with logo ground off and a stock water x-over now. Wouldn't fool any of you guys but the Chevy,Ford,Dodge boys are none the wiser.

The start of some E-heads and a RPM intake for a 1968 1/2 RA II convertible-needs to be blasted yet.

Those were Shaggy's old Eheads I believe,IIRC those went to Darin (jagtec1).

Not sure if he still has those or not,maybe he'll chime in here.

I saved pics of those heads somewhere on my file drive,I'll see if I can find them later and post them here in this thread.

Hey Tony I was thinking of posting a pic of yours.
You beat me to it, I'll show a pic after the blasting.

How do you make the casting numbers?

[tpssonic]

Sounds good, GT. Cam, springs, oil pan, valley pan, etc. will be ordered from Dave on Tuesday and will be coming your way. There's a party that wants to buy my original 400, but I told them I won't sell it until my new engine is done, they're starting to get a bit impatient. So I guess I need to get those parts ordered and sent...

Steel putty and/or JB weld. We'll see how it holds up to sand blasting. I didn't work the steel putty sufficiently, but I will probably have to re-do it after the blasting.

[blueghoast]

All is loaded in the van and going to machine shop in the morning.
I'll be sand blasting tomorrow too.

Excellent. Thanks, GT!

What does blasting them do, rough them up?

Those look great!!

I especially like that you picked a casting number that was never used!

Yes" Makes them look original, Texture wise.
I'll get some pics up tomorrow. To tired tonight
Been blasting all day----------

If going for the stealth look, why not pick one of the crappier/least desirable head casting numbers to tig onto the aluminum heads.

[ITSBACK]

Very interested in the finished product!!

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I came up with the idea to use 7F8 to hopefully have people confusing them with 7F6 and scratching their heads! lol After I started running a Super Duty block (before the I.A. block was available), I switched to casting 16's to match the block and the SD455 call out letters on the scoop of my '74 Formula.

There are a lot of other guys doing nice work here. I'd like to know what they're doing to disguise the front of the heads. I posted a couple of better shots of our camo E-heads.

[Skip Fix]

My buddy would have sent his to you for the end CNC if he knew back then!

[blueghoast]

Heres the pics after I blasted the heads and intake.
They'll need a little touch-up but the texture looks ok.

Thay look good. It would be nice to see an untouched set of heads. Are those E heads or KRE?

[tpssonic]

E-heads.
