Well here is the pile of rust that was sitting in the bottom of the fuel tank after I drained out all the remaining fuel. This is just the loose stuff at the bottom. I did not bang on the side walls to shake any loose.
I wonder if there is enough steel left to boil out the tank and dip it?
This is about 3 lbs or so of rust.
There is proabably not going to be happening here for a long time as the engine will be delt with once all the body work is settled.
Interesting the first time you are doing this.
Got a plan for what I am planning back here, and I am going to stay with a Cleveland and probably iron heads too.
For me this will keep the costs down where I don't have to have the complete engine done and still be able to build the headers I want, so that I can continue to work out the packaging of everything in the engine bay. It is like a jigsaw puzzle of what needs to be done first and how you are going to do it. Also , for me I might have the puzzle set but not the money needed to do all the things I that need to be done. This is why it is going to be a slow process.
