    Exactly what I was thinking! Might only be a Falcon six for the girls car, but it has a little "extra", So how about a Hi-PO color scheme?!?!

    Would it be sacrilegious to paint the 302 going in my '54 Ford Olds gold? I mean, a 302 isn't exactly the most traditional engine in the world, so I suppose an Olds gold Ford 302 isn't that much worse.

    I have a pint of POR-15 Ford blue already, but I'm seriously considering changing my mind after seeing this thread.

    351 Windsor isn't exactly the most traditional engine in the world either, but I did it anyway and I'm glad I did.

    If you don't drive it much and it floats your boat OK, I did a SBC years ago with a gold tunnel ram and the gold anodized Moroso valve covers and oil pan against a black block even had the gold hose clamp covers,it was PIA keeping it clean.After a year I changed it.
