nice, thanks for the tip!...i forgot to mention that i scored an Edelbrock Performer intake from a fellow trucker of the Louisiana Classic Truck Club...he blasted it & will be clear powdercoating...i'm hoping it turns out nice enough for me to switch it out with the polished intake...i've been debating whether to clear powdercoat this polished water pump...that's likely what i'll do if I don't get the natural finish one
