So far I have about 7 hours time in pulling everything out & cleaning/painting time. There has to be some weight savings here!! The headers seem alot lighter than the cast manifolds.

Nice pile-O-parts....

Those look great. Hope the paint stays on. Try the heat cycling like I posted and good luck. 5-6 times maybe to get the paint cured.

Its Plasticote # HP-14 supposed to resist heat to 1500* Its a silicone resin base paint. I cant speak for the results yet.....waiting for gaskets. Once I get em' bolted on, I'll "cure" em as per the directions and see what happens.

I just wiped the headers down with Prep-Sol, followed by a nice healthy washdown with Brake Kleen, let them dry & coated them with 3 light-medium coats.
