On a side note, I have noticed an assortment of different color tones on these engines. Some are a darker grey like mine, & some much lighter like yours and a few are in between the two.....should they all be the color you have? |
Your color is correct. Dont forget a lot of previous owners have been cleaning these engines for a while and the end result is multiple tones, colors and staining (Yikes!) Mine is a sliver metallic flake that was Powder Coated by JeffVette a member of this forum. He also does a lot of speciality colors like red, black and an atomic green that will make you want to get pair of sunglasses. I also had the Air horn, Injector housings and the Plenum ported and polished to increase air flow. Might as well while you are there
The LT-5 engraving on the TPI cover and the Coolant pipes were done by Carter200 also a member of this forum. When your ready those folks can hook you up. If you need all the down and dirty details just PM me. GC !
