ALK 200 enamel. I had painted my car trailer with it and had about a half gallon left over so I painted it on the floor with a brush.

Very interested to see how this turns out with the 4-bolt stuff. What fuel? Are the heads dry decked?

Went back through the thread and didn't see any engine details. Whats the engine combo and what all was done to help seal the heads?
