mainly pressure washer and soap. the pressure washer really doesn't have too hard of a time removing grease/debis on its own. it cans sometimes just be hard to get the right angle to get to everything while under the truck. what color are you wanting to paint the engine? duplicolor has a pretty good selection of colors as long as you don't want something too unique https://duplicolor.com/product/engin...l-with-ceramic
other than the metal flake there is likely not too much of a difference between plum crazy purple and plum purple. i thought you were wanting to paint the engine different color than the valve covers and stuff.
Kinda clash the the purple though, don't ya think?
Well if you bought a mopar from the early 70's with a hemi that was painted "in violet"(Plymouth name) or a Dodge with the same paint just a different name"plum crazy" i don't think it would clash at all. I would gladly make room in my garage for one!

This truck is going to be a throwback to that (his is going flat black). My 68 Charger is going back to the factory color B5 blue
Well I got everything off and it's drink innermost in the oven to burn all the water/chemical off. In the meantime I painted some brackets (black), the ignition coil (purple), bolts (purple), and am painting the wiper cowl (black or purple idk yet).
Also when I removed the plenum it was blown (see pics). The valley was full of oil (exactly 1 1/2 quarts). I got 2 gallons of paint (1 gallon in spray cans the rest in liquid for $180)
Will started to paint the intake and accessory bracket today. Got the ignition coil back on after paint/cleaning it. Lost a but to the bolt that holds it in so I'm going to have to buy another one. If you look closely i got a little impatient and put it in while it was still wet, you can see where the bolt made an impression in the paint.

Yes. Engine block, valve covers, and water pump are going just black. Now I need to find a chrome ceramic coated headers as mine are all rusty now
Well if you are following this thread, I hot more done. I got the frame primered and am now wiping down everything with my Homebrew degreaser, I mean wires, hoses, wire loom, everything.
