That powder is specifically engineered to dissapate heat.
I have several types at my shop, but I'm using a poly hybrid powder. Essentially, a really sweet plastic coating.
It may cause it to be a tad warmer, but I don't think it would matter too much. ....

You know what, I'll get the infrared laser thermometer out and do a test. I'll check the temp of the block, heads and covers now, uncoated to get a baseline. Then after the build, I'll check again to see what differences there are. I'm sure there will be differences, because of the swap from iron to aluminum.
Thanks for the insight!
And for the information to that company. It's looks like I could benefit from some of their powders as well.
