It claims to be a wear resistance barrier as well as thermal.
No, the engine is going into a 82 Caprice Wagon. I need a tow vehicle and parts getter thats get better fuel milleage than a 3/4 Chevy Truck. Also I make several trips a month of around 600 miles round trip and will need to tow my Chevelle on those trips sometimes. So building it up as a torquer engine and trans, highway cruiser (I carry two dogs sometimes) and tow vehicle. My 92 Camaro was able to reach 30 mpg with a mild reprograming. With low stall torque converter, TPI, the wagon should be a good all around utility vehicle for me without the fuel costs of the Truck.
I am also using this build to learn and practice techniques needed when I build up the Chevelle. A '71 Malibu that I am going to make a SS clone (exterior) but very modern drivetrain.
Cerakot also has a heat transfer coating that is supposed help get heat out and stop it from coming back in.
I'm just new to such things and wanted to see if anyone else had tried similier.
