I wanted the Black/Aluminum theme, My engine is Low Gloss Black, My Water Pump is Aluminum Paint (Stock Cast Iron Pump) and my valve covers were painted with Chrome paint but it turned aluminum somehow.

All of it with Dupli-Color Engine Enamel, I wouldnt use ANYTHING else.

well my summit engine stand front wheels broke the bearings broke on both sides so it sits at an angle but that fine for now they are sending me a new one for wensday and by then have a cherry picker buy during that im gonna put my valve covers on replace oil pump and pan gasket, hopefully timing chain and ect. i'm gonna have to get new plugs. maybe a disturber how to do reinstall the distributer?

and how do u feel about T-bars? i was gonna get some either chrome or sand then down and make them burnt copper

hey a question question i got dual exhaust at the moment it has cats witch I'm thinking of removing if i can save up for the senors. but the question is while the engine is out i would like to add a nice set of headers at the moment there is no y pipes or x pipes at the moment what would u recommend for a nice deep throaty sound long or short tubes? since it is a 2wd and lifted clearance isn't a huge issue

I think I would have gone this route.

Headman or Hooker long tubes.

I have had 3 350 Vortec's that were 2 bolt main engines.
