Eastwood has one as well that looks real nice. I've used the VHT before with good results also.

Steve the Eastwood products are really good,I used their aluminum color exhaust paint and it would be good for your engine.

I used the nu-cast and was happy with results. I put it on a brand new dart block that was cleaned and hit with wax and grease remover.
