I'm surprised, because the guy at Allied wasn't crazy about heat type applications like BBQ pits and such..Of course a BBQ pit would get hotter than an engine block. I need to ask. I eventually want to put a 502 in my car....I need to ask him specifically about a car block! They did a wonderful job on my 12 bolt!!

In 1991 when the Gen V bigblocks were introduced, Chevy powder coated the blocks and heads black from the factory. The coating was done before any machining was done. The ones I have seen have held up very well.
