Are those valve covers painted or powdercoated?

It’s Seymour EN-48. The valve covers were wet-sanded and polished. It sprays very thin, so multiple layers are needed, and cures slowly, but seems durable so far

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
They are from ICT Billet, using 1998-2002 Camaro/Firebird pump and alternator. Not sure on the truck box, as I’m running rack and pinion with the Porterbuilt Dropmember. I have seen guys use the type II GM pump, which I understand was designed for higher pressures

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
I’m too cheap for Delmo’s stuff, though it is very nice. The adapter I bought on eBay off of a guy in Australia, but it looks like Holley now sells them for ~$120. I’ll be using Fitech to run the engine, so SD for me

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
It's just dupli-color chevy orange-red #DE1607 from a local parts store. The coil covers are the Holley big block style covers. They were painted black, then masked using a set of decals that go on the script SBC valve covers, painted orange, then decals removed, then cleared over.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum. I have recently finished a restomod 1986 K30 4x4 starting with an ugly ex-army truck. I will post a new thread on the build soon to try to help anyone else on a project like it. There are alot of nice swaps on here I could have learned from, I didn't know they were here! 2016 L96 6.0/4L80/205 Josh |
