    Intake plenum take 2 !

    I removed and painted the intake plenum a few weeks ago. Well when I started to detail the 2.7 lettering the paint blistered on the entire top of the plenum! It was the same type of paint but it blistered? Anyway this is attempt number 2. Different color and I airbrushed the inner runners flat black to give it depth. Man what a Bas&*%$ to remove all of the paint from the first try!

    I used good old high heat engine enamel, then clear engine enamel. Hey does anybody have any suggestions for shock mount covers for under the hood?

    Dang that looks really nice! Are those things made of plastic like the 5.7's?

    I believe that the manifolds are made of a material called Nylon 6/6 Magnum8r might have a better description of its properties

    Great paint job on the intake cover! That little V6 sure looks cute in there. I always wondered what they look like.
