love the look of the ceramic coating! are the under bonnet temperatures heaps lower now? thinking of getting something similiar done but mainly for heat reduction then anything else 
Also love what a new F2T engine looks like...  |

Thanks for the support! The Jet Hot coating (inside and out) cost me $120 for the manifold and turbo neck. Its good for 1800 degrees (so they say). This will act as a heat insulator to keep the underhood temps down, keep the cast iron from deteriorating over time, and is trouble free (unlike chrome). I don't think the heat shield is going back on.....
The upper end has been powdercoated "industrial silver", but the long-block didn't get the treatment since it was factory new and assembled (I'll do it to the old one when I rebuild it).
Now that I'm doing so much, I want to do it right (custom). This frustrates my husband (yeah, I'm female) because he wants his car back. He's driving the Echo we bought when the clutch was the cause of all this repair work. Don't look for any nitrous, radical or extreme racing modifications to happen. We still have to commute through traffic, drive up and down rough roads, and take the occational trip to the inlaws. I need dependability and affordability to go with a little fun. |

| WOW that engine looks clean. Where on earth did you source a _NEW_ factory crate engine, and how much did it cost you? Perhaps you got a special hook-up because you worked for Mazda? |
