'70 Duster Revival: Drag Racing Heart | Pro Touring Soul

While doing the body work and paint I was accumulating the parts I wanted to use in my engine build. I wanted to stay with the small block setup so I began my research on what parts would work best with my combo.

I had the k-member and other front end components powder coated chassis black at a local shop in Farmington, MN. (www.jitpowdercoating.com) Russ at JIT was great to work with and a genuine car guy too. He suggested I powder coat my intake while there just for ease of maintenance and cleaning. He showed me some pictures of the intake he did on his '70 Mustang and I was sold. I chose a color close to the raw aluminum of my Edelbrock Performer RPM and it turned out great.

Although it wasn't performance enhancing, that was one of the best decisions I made in the engine build. It's so much easier to see any leaks and also clean when at shows.
