How much would powder coating an L67 cost?

yeah, so how much would it cost to powdercoat an L67 and supercharger? is it worth it, how dust/dirt resistant is it?

I might one day, if I ever do anything to my internals get my entire block powdercoated, and attempt a clean engine bay. I'd love to do that one day!

Just saw this - almost a year later - sorry

The thing with powdercoating is you need to heat it up to 400 degrees to get it to melt/cure, This means it has to be solid metal - - if there are any rubber parts attached, or anything else, that can't handle that kind of heat, you can't do it. So everything would have to be stripped bare.

I have powdercoated an intake manifold, valve covers, brackets, etc., but haven't had the occasion to get my hands on a stripped-bare head or block to try it on. It would definitely be slick, though. More durable than paint.

AA, what was that block you got from Bill? I saw it was painted black but was it powder coated?

Mine was painted in high-temp engine paint. Probably < 5% the price of powder coating.

Powder coating would involve a lot of prep (masking), or machining after it was applied. This would likely add a lot of cost. Parts need to be heated before coating. Can an iron block be heated evenly and quickly enough to apply a consistent coat? I don't know. Seems like a challenge for a very large oven.

I know it could be done for a price. Don't know what the quality level of the finish would be. How many would be game for a $1600 rebuild + an extra $500 for powder coat?
