Next to the exhaust manifolds I would guess that there are areas where the heat exceeds that. Especially if you run headers.

I personally wouldn't put Herculiner inside the engine bay. It collects too much dirt & grime...very difficult to get out inbetween the valley & peaks of it. If you are determined to do it, then I'd look into something like "Lizard Skin". A previous post (Fiberglass Body update) talks about it being rated to 500 or so degrees..

How thick is the Lizzard skin? What im trying to do is cover up all the metal mistakes i cant fix. the guy who owned it befor me, well lets just say he had the money but no will to do any of it. so he got ripped off. the body work such as welding fiberglass work and all is horrible!
