For some reason I like the white. But I cringe at the thought of keeping it clean. All though the powder coating is so much easier to keep clean.

That is the first time I saw powdercoat white, but it looks killer! My engine doesnt get that dirty in silver, so I can't imagine the white being bad either.
:cool:

He he heeee...... guess what... I just happen to have one of three sets of LT5 emblems that are white. They were made for the active suspension car which you will remember had a white engine.... Should I? Or should I paint mine white this time?????

Jeffvette · 01-19-2004, 07:57 PM

Got pics?

I didn't know what to expect when I saw the comments about the white powder coating, but that looks sweet! :yesnod:

Al, very nice! I think you are going to be very happy with it. Now your problem is going to be traction.

Just remember, easy on the breakin.

I think it looks pretty sweet and I usually dont like white!:thumbs:

Rkreigh · 01-21-2004, 08:59 PM

how does the powder coat hold up long term with street use>?? it's pretty, but how durable?? I saw some silver paint engines at SGC that looked just as good as powder, and I guess it seems "safer" to paint vs p-coat.

the white does look killer. time to do an all white car with red guts. I love that combo!!!

Bert, is it running yet?

MrCrowley · 01-22-2004, 09:38 AM

It is running, but Im sure he is being gentle with the beast for right now!

BERTZR1 · 01-22-2004, 10:25 AM

right now.I'm going to put A few miles on her,then it's off to the rollers.

SGCZR1 · 01-22-2004, 11:05 AM

Keep us all posted.
What kind of intake work did you go with?

BERTZR1 · 01-22-2004, 11:39 AM

We are going to compare the two intake set-ups.The siamesed and the none
siamesed.We'll see what we get out of her.
The car feels bad butt took it for A drive the other day it drives better
then when it was A 350.

SGCZR1 · 01-22-2004, 11:48 AM
