I like it as well. I usually keep my shiny stuff shiny but the "tactical" stuff means no shiny, black it all out. Looks good!

LOL. I did not claim that. Touch the sacred parts of a FSJ the wrong way and feel the wrath from the keepers of the flame!

My passenger side one is already messed up with some kind of black overspray or chemical etching. It never occured to me to just go with it and paint it black. It I like it I will run with it.

I should contain my thoughts and stay focused. I slipped a bit today. I sidetracked and bought a 401. Complete.

The 401 will not. But I have the 360 already in it running. So yes, that should get me there.

Sorry man! So much confusion between thread title and actual color. I was a Tennessee fan myself when Peyton was playing there. That was probably because I was living in Memphis and that is the only games they showed there!

Haha, I see what you did there. I like the tan but 'Big Orange' has a certain ring to it.

Pics of 401 I bought. The guy I bought it from is funny as all get out. I guess power line guys need to be a little crazy right? Just like aircraft mechanics.

Nice!
The engine color is very compatible with the desert camo look.

If it is harsh, put it out and dig out the real mellow. I notice colors. It is from terminating too much telephone cable.

I cannot see the little wires any more. I just have to count the connector holes.

I bet you will like the 401, mine was a beast in my '79, I never got better than 10mpg but neither does my TBI 360 so no penalty for displacement!
