Re: My 86 build
well I was not liking the look of my motor now that the tranny turned out so good, so I stripped the motor down again and painted it "again". I painted the block black like last time, but I left the heads and valve covers natural, I pulled the water pump off this time and painted the timing cover black as well along with the steam tube, and cleared over the whole thing....trust me it looks better! now I'm gonna paint the coil brackets cause they look bad.....

Thumbs up Re: My 86 build
Hey Mooser, now that is a sweet looking mill! What headers did you decide to go with if you don't mind me asking? Oh, I found the paint (Dupli "cast aluminum") you used and got myself 4 cans. Thanks again for being the test subject on that.

Man, that is a killer price for coated headers! My Hookers just came in today from Amazon and were $629 for coated. Camaro headers supposed to fit alright?

Looking good! Are you just going to leave it stock or going to do any internal mods?
