Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"

It's the factory color from I think 78-82, somewhere in there. GM Corporate Blue. Thanks Mike

Thanks Chief. I like orange and had I stayed with the factory color I would have gone orange. However, since the truck is crimson/white, I thought the factory color (Corporate Blue) would pop against the crimson firewall?
Did the Corporate Blue color come from a rattle can or did you shoot it w/a gun? Any prep tips on the aluminum heads you care to share?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

SCOTI, color came from a rattle-can. I did a basic cleaning of the heads and the degreased them prior to spraying. I painted intake separate from the block/heads.
