Going to resurrect a Daisy Dukes CJ Jeep!
So then I keep talkin' about this "load" going in the back. YES I DO. You all have gotten an idea of what its gonna be, BUT you all only seen some of it. The "loose" 426 Head, the block and some of its detailing.... NOW however its time to unleash the beast..... yeah?
Front of block, all drilled out, water coolant passages, oil passages, you name it, ALL drilled EVEN timing chain cover bolt holes drilled out!
Un-bored side of the block! Showing the valve push rod recesses in the valley as well as the cam center detailing to show cam lobes, as well as the locations in the cam for its bearings, I also added a lip to the rear of the transmission mount to show its detail, (you'll see more of that in a second!) -The 2nd head is setting in the fore ground waiting too!
Bell housing mount lip for the transmission, I literally MILLED out that white lip from stryrene to fit my resin block for this! Notice, the block also is drilled for a crank!
Ya can't tell I had a LOT of fun with this can ya?
Now you get to see the side of the block that I bored out! I also drilled in oil passages, and water coolant passages, as well as bolt holes for the head! Yeah, the head isn't going in place on this side, SO, this side of the block has to be fully detailed as far as I can get it.... Thats what you see here! NOT 100% true to life, but its close (some holes in 1/25th scale I just don't have small enough drills to do.... OR I WOULD HAVE!)
That lingering head that was in the fore ground is now in-place on the block. This is how that part will be till the end as I plan to add some more to it!
Showing a little more detail on the head. The head (just like the other one) got the intake ports drilled out as well as the exhaust ports! Also notice the distributor "hole" is drilled out too! This shot shows a good view of the bored out cylinders, as well as oil and coolant passages!
Other side of the block, showing the head detail from this side. I also went as far as drilling out the water plugs in the block sides, They will be replaced with the "caps" painted in-place! The oil filter passage is also drilled out!
A somewhat "OK" valley shot with the head in-place.
Front of block with the deep sump oil pan on the block. Almost ready for paint she is! This shot shows all the holes drilled in the face of the timing chain recess!
Stay tuned, there will be more of this detailing to come, I'm waiting for the block to dry of its second coat of Hemi Orange.... I then will be able to do the bare metal areas for where seals and gaskets will be! MAYBE even a little more hole drilling, where applicable!
Detail is coming!
Thanks for looking, Comments welcome! ENJOY!
