Looking for opinions on how I should paint my engine since I'll be getting it built soon.
Here's what it looks like now
With the shaker removed but the manifolds in place
I'm honestly not trying to build anything to show off. I just want it to be clean and hold up over time. I have a new billet throttle body that will go on the engine that's natural currently. I'm half way considering powder coating the intake black along with the block and leaving the ribs natural aluminum. How does that sound?
Valve covers will remain unless I can find some C4 units. Those are black composite.
What to do with the water pump? Silver or gray paint? Black?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT: I think I need to see about removing the oil fill extension. Looks out of place being that tall.
