[Bricklin] Painting Aluminum Intake

[Greg Schroeder]

Thanks for the information on motor mounts.  I am going with rubber.  Do not
want the extras noise or vibration associated with poly.

I have purchased a new Edelbrock intake and before making this purchase I had
noticed a lot of used intakes that appear to be stained.  From Edelbrocks site
they indicate this is a normal occurrence.  So  should this be painted to
prevent the staining of the aluminum?  Any issues related to painting these?

I had also heard of painting the bottom of the intake flat black to allow the
intake to run cooler and provide more horsepower.  Anyone ever tried this?  I
know it was referenced on an episode of Horsepower TV, but I cannot seem to
find the reference.
