67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Sandblasted these 68-71 340 exhaust manifolds. I had em for years. Was going to put em on my 408, but then decided on a set of hedman block huggers for that one. Anyhoo, awhile back I bought 1 pint of Por15 high heat exhaust manifold paint. I sandblasted the manifolds at work, and painted them today. If you go with a 1-1 mix with xylene which is available at lowes or home depot you can spray paint them. I used a disposable Preval sprayer, that comes with a reusable bottle also available at Lowes. Light coats allowing to tack between coats, I used maybe 1/4 of that pint and still have 3/4 of a can of this left over for my headers. I honestly think anybody can get professional looking results this way. Container says let dry 24 hours before heating these up to cure them. We did a set of manifolds for my dads lil red express truck years ago and cleaned em with a wire brush. We had no access to a sandblaster back then and they looked great for the 12 years he had the truck.
