Clarification... I had previously told Marc that the "high temp" powder
coat was only available in black.  This would be the exhaust manifold
type stuff, finishes curing on the part when hot.  Regular powder
coating should work fine on the block though, since it's going to see
what, 300 degrees F maybe at the most?  A little heat soak up by the
head maybe.  the parts that are yellow and bolted to my block don't seem
to be suffering at all.  Of course Marc is going to be cramming a few
more HP through that block of his...

when I put in the current set (the mushy ones!) I got to install the
yellow brackets I have had waiting for some time.  with stainless
hardware, of course.  Anyone know if there is a 12 step program for
this?
