    I rotate them 180 degrees until I get more holes, then 90. Until they're two-piece style.

    paint the bottom green, since it's truck, paint the heads orange, since they're from a car.

    Thats the part im having a hard time deciding. Ive got a couple ideas but Ill have a better vision once its a little further along in the build process and looks more like a car than parts in a pile.

    Black. Goes with anything. Chrome & aluminum accessories contrast nicely. Doesn't show dirt like bright colors. Oh; and please avoid gaudy colored plug wires.

    I never saw it mentioned, the 58 to 62 283 have thicker walls and were the prffered block for the .125 overbore.
