Gonna wrap your exhaust parts?
I thought you had flanges made to replace the factory manifolds.
I was planning on just nickel plating my manifolds, pipes and hot side housing to keep them from rusting if I decided to wrap them. This looks interesting though.
it says to air dry the parts after coating, but im gonna let them air dry, then bake them @ 500 for a couple of hours.
i dont want them coming off, and if they cant handle the 500* heat, i wont do the other parts.
my intake housing, intake hat, and charge pipes are getting powdercoated with a polish aluminum finish.
should be done today!
not for this engine.
this engine is staying "stockish"
well as stock as this gets!
i have SS flanges and T4 flanges for my hotrod build that i want to twin turbo.
but i have a PSD project coming up next, so thats on the back burner.....
Oil pump is in and greased
Rear main seal is installed
Pan is installed.
Went to paint a exhaust manifold tonight, but it was too cold and
all the good stuff was at the bottom of the can
Tomorrow I'll heat it up, mix it and paint.
Then bake

X2 on that...it looks like you could eat off that engine
VERY impressed!! I'm looking forward to seeing how the paint stands the test of time...hopefully better than the paint I did on my engine...
no A/C? I used a vacuum pump of the early 7.3 PSD they look much nicer. I also made new lines and used different fittings to get rid of the olive type fittings. I think it looks better and doesn't leak. the motor looks good.
no AC i have a AC delete pulley in there. until i find a decent york compressor for onboard air.
no olives on any of my IDI's i hate those things with a passion!
i will be making new feed lines, AN fittings.
just gotta relocate my filter head, which will be on the fender.
