[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16354237, member: 70025"] Okay all, I've been working on getting things prepared for my re-build. I purchased a used 80 gallon air compressor. I need to purchase some plumbing parts (i.e. drain and on/off valve) and then I'll have the electricity hooked up. Then I'll place the tubing along the garage walls in order to set up my connecting points for air hoses. I also did some major cleaning in my garage this weekend to get the compressor in it's location and then I pulled out some parts I had powder coated and detail painted. I tried to paint the fins on my air cleaner black, but the paint did not come out right. So, I'm probably going to keep it powder coated, but sand the fins down to bare aluminum and run my air cleaner and valve covers with that look. Baby steps. Still have more cleaning to, but I should make my suspense date of July 2020 to start...………… Compressor after delivery.... [ATTACH=full]1619869[/ATTACH] Compressor specs... [ATTACH=full]1619870[/ATTACH] Compressor in it's new home.... Had to move my diecast collection around.....(Still have a lot of clean up to do) [ATTACH=full]1619871[/ATTACH] Intake for my 347. After looking at this I decided to go back to a 347 and fore go the idea of upgrading to a 427. I'm not going to race it, so a 347 is powerful enough for my needs.
