I've seen a bunch of builds with various parts powder coated including the oil pan.
The oil pan and the cam cover are the only that I had powder coated the could possibly have any effect on engine temps.
I installed a high performance aluminum radiator and I have the Setrab oil cooler where the passenger driving light used to be. I should be fine for engine temps. The temps have been rock solid the times I have driven it.
I (obviously) didn't think about the effect on electrical grounds but I won't make that mistake next time, and I got to be a great example of what not to do.
"leave things as they are"?????
Never going to happen!!!!
