So if i paint all my acc off the front of my engine do i need to use high temp engine paint? and will i need it on my valve covers? if i dont paint it i will have them powder coated.also i posted in the swaparooo section but whats the biggest fittment issue with useing my headers off my 302 on the 351w. if it matters i have mac l/t's. and i have a tublar K member and tublar a arms if that plays a role also for fittment. and has anyone used the fiberglass panel inserts in there bay? how do they hold up as far as cracking and so forth? peace

IMO.. there is no reason to paint any of the acc with hi temp paint.


I've only seen 2 ppl with fiberglass panels in the engine bay and neither look or fit right if you were to ask me!
