New engine is getting cleaner...

I spent last night cleaning the engine. I've got more productive things that I could have done, but the weather was gorgeous, so I wanted to be outside. Scrubbed the engine to remove the bulk of the grime, sprayed it with engine degreaser, rinse, and repeat. I did the same to the 336 transmission as well. The transmission looks like it may clean up very nicely, despite its age.

I do want to touch up the engine a little more though. The oil pan could use a wire brushing and a nice coat of paint. I could also touch up the paint on the engine block, now that it is cleaned up. I was knocking paint off of the engine as I was cleaning the lower half, and it wasn't hanging on to anything more then grime.

I found that R.D. Enterprises also sells the dash lettering that I will need to finish the dash, once it's rewired. It's only $14, so I think I may take this route, as opposed to replacing the switches. We'll see.
