Double Your Displacement: The Great 455 Swap
We spent no less than a day’s work, 13 cans of brake cleaner, half a bottle of Simple Green, and three cans of the Eastwood Company’s Pre-Paint Prep before we had the engine bay degreased. Then, we masked off the painted body areas and sprayed the firewall, core support, and inner fenders with Eastwood’s Underhood Black. It dries quickly to a semi-gloss finish. We gave it 20 minutes to cure, masked those panels off, and shot the frame with slower-drying, epoxy-based Chassis Black. We unmasked everything and gave the frame two days to completely dry (it was cold outside). The higher-gloss frame is a nice contrast with the rest of the engine bay. Well worth the time spent.
