340 LA Engine - CHALLENGER T/A OR AAR CUDA - Six Pack / Six Barrel Storage/Paint Mask Kit- Designed & Made in USA - MADE TO ORDER - Please allow 7 business days for processing

Crafted in the USA for durability and accuracy of fitment, this kit is ideal for engine storage or engine paint masking for your restoration!

STORAGE

Tired of plastic bags, tape, or makeshift repurposed food containers to store & protect your iconic & expensive engine? Ideal for keeping contamination of all kinds out of your investment (but not watertight). Precision fit and quick assembly saves you time and can be reused over again! 

PAINTING MASK

SAVE time!  Tape masking and trimming takes a lot of time! This kit would be for those who want to paint their engine with the exhaust manifolds removed. Optional Thermostat plate available.

Materials of construction

3D printed using PLA plastic. PLA is a common filament used by FDM 3D printing due to its ease and accuracy of printing.  It has some of the best mechanical properties of all 3D filaments.

UNDER HOOD FLUIDS -I have tested this material by soaking in used antifreeze, used engine oil and gasoline - common under hood fluids - and have seen no degradation dimensionally or structurally. However, soaking in Acetone, Brake Parts Cleaner, Lacquer Thinner of similar solvents with soften the material. Brief wiping with these fluids is possible due to the quick evaporation. 

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES- PLA is not recommended for any high temperature applications.  If you are baking the engine after paint, please remove the 3D printed parts prior so they may be reused. The heat deflection temperature is 134F (57C), it is UV resistant and not know to attract rodents (like some electrical wires) even though it is made from bio products such as corn.

Fitment

This kit will fit AAR Cuda & T/A Challenger 340 engines or any LA engine applications with the six-pack intake manifold.

These were design with many iterations to match the machined surface contours for precise fitment for storing or masking.  I did not just match the gaskets or carburetors due to the possibility of not being able to get good paint coverage. These are contoured to the machined surfaces on the intake and exhaust manifolds.
