Engine is now at the machine shop. The 200-4r with beefed up internals has been ordered and I sent a very nice correctly dated 7028264 XE to Cliff Ruggles to be set-up for the engine. I haven't made a decision about which way to go with the engine rebuild yet.

In the mean time, I also have to decide whether to go with paint or powder coat on the the subframe, suspension pieces, inner fenders, etc..thoughts?

Hi, Just thought I would chime in. I bought my '68 FB 6 months ago from my neighbor. He had sub frame, core support and everything else powder coated. They do look nice. Had them dipped/stripped, then powder coated. Scott

On subframes, I like to have them dip stripped and then electrocoat primer dipped. That way the coating gets everywhere on the inside of the frame, too. There are not too many places to have that done, though...
