Yes and no. If you wake up the next morning and decide you want something different and try to paint over it you will have a big fisheye mess. Rustoleum is oil based after all, or at least it was. If it is really dry, and it takes a long time to be really dry, then you most likely won't have a problem. You may still get some fisheyes, but there are a couple of ways around that. I prefer a couple of dust coats with a long flash time before putting on wet coats.
I found out that the 5.3's did come with one big exhaust manifold and one small, don't know why but I assume it has something to do with the Y pipe. I found a guy on craigslist parting out a Silverado 2500 and they had 2.5" oulets on both sides. I got the manifolds, flanges and pipe past the o2 sensors, o2 sensors and AC lines for $80. Thanks to ta2ed for sending me the wiring diagram for the 2004 AC I found out the pressure switch is in the line. Now I can get the compressor side of the 04 lines spliced into the evaporator and condensor side of the 71 lines and have functioning AC. I'm at one of those points where there has been a lot of work done but not much visual progress. That should all change this weekend so I expect to have a bunch of pictures coming.
