So I did! I hand-scraped the majority of the gunk off, took a wire brush to the metal, and then spent some time masking and painting a little. It was one of those nice “change of pace” projects that actually looks like something was accomplished for once. The blue on the engine is EN66 AMC Blue, and is the original (and correct) color for the motor.
Interesting fact, every motor I’ve ever rebuilt I painted this color, even the non-AMC’s.
