I am almost done putting my engine back together.I had it out so I decided to repaint my tins and fan housing. It looked like crap so I said what the heck. I kind of like the way the engine looks but the intakes for the carbs look horrible in my oppinion. They are cast and have an unfished look. Is there any reason why I would not want to paint them. I am thinking about flat black. In my oppinion it would be a cool conbtrast to the blue engine tin.Le t me know what you think!!!

Porsche used a black coating of some kind on the intake manifolds of the 69 912, IIRC. Same for some years of 911 intake manifolds. The Cap'n

Either I will paint them flat black with high temp plate or I might even send them to one my vendors at work and have them anodized. That might look cool but I will need to do some research before I do that. Rich I drove down the street and the van was gone. It might be out in the guys back yard. I drive by everyday so I will P.M you after work tomorow and let you know how much,year,etc. |
