Powdercoating Engine Parts

So I started to remove parts like the Whipple supercharger. I removed the intake, coolant crossover pipe, Alternator and it dissembled for powder-coating.
A year or so ago I did the valve covers (powder-coat) and the exhaust manifolds (Jet Hot).

What else are you having done besides the alternator?

The intake manifold, the supercharger base to intake manifold, both sides of the alternator case and the coolant crossover pipe.

Oh duh I see that now, first time I read it I thought you removed all that stuff to get to the alternator

What color you going with?

It's called heavy silver https://www.prismaticpowders.com/sho...RoCscYQAvD_BwE
Has a whole lot of flake and very silver, not gray.

Ya they said it would 2 to 3 weeks, which seems pretty long to me. And the cost was crazy. That's what I get for moving, I don't know anyone around here who does that kind of work in this area.

So the coolant fittings for the inter-cooler were corroded and one was leaking now and then. So I got new fittings to replace the hose clamp type supplied by Whipple. I like these better.

I noticed before I started this that the coolant flow to the inter-cooler was slow.
The inter-cooler fittings on each side of the bottom of the Whipple supercharger entrance and exit fittings.
After flushing the intercooler and the heat exchanger and installing a new pump - Wow what a flow now.
