I was worried about coolant effecting the powder coat. It wont be the coolent, but the heat. I painted my motor plate when I painted my car, so far so good To my knowledge powder coat is more durable than any paint. Lots of stuff seems to get powder coated. I see intakes, valve covers, brackets. Seems to last good enough, these parts should see the same temp as the motor plates.

Poweder is baked at around 400* If the coolant gets that hot, you will have more problems then the powder on the motor plate. Jeff 69 GTX 68 Road Runner

That is a stout looking bullet. I will be keeping an eye on his answers too , because E-85 is also in my future.
