Serious "bling"!! New engine powder coating
Ok, this engine is stuffed with some serious internal parts, so I wanted it to look good, as well. The intake, water pump, and alternator have all been powder coated with 2 stage candy purple over a bright silver base. It's pretty expensive, but I wanted something different. The powder was done here. http://www.eastcoastpowdercoating.com/

Because of it being a candy color, it cost me a little more. Most of the cost is eaten up in the labor involved in masking everything up. The intake was $125, the water pump was $75, and the alternator was $50.

King bearings
Sealed Power file fit rings
Polished and balanced 3.48" stroke crank
LE3 heads with 2.05"-1.60" valves
GM 847 cam
Morel link bar hydraulic roller lifters
K-Motion K-800 springs
K-Motion 10* titanium retainers and 10* locks
COMP "Hi-Tech" pushrods
COMP "Pro Magnum" 1.6 roller rockers (7/16" studs)
Lunati timing chain with Cloyes O/S bottom sprocket

Holley 58MM throttle body

We're gonna throw this in a 3300# '93 Z with a full Spohn/AJE/QA1 suspension, and shoot it with a 200 shot.
