Trying to decide on how to paint engine. All one color and maybe painted valve covers to match. I wanted to leave heads and intake plus water pump raw aluminum. Painting the block it won't show. chrome valve covers with everything painted will look all right but maybe paint everything same color. Leave the chrome cleaner. I will try to hide as much wiring as possible. The first picture is engine currently in truck. The other ones are black paint as I got it and almond I painted. The transmission will match. Question is do you paint the heads and intake or leave raw so people know its not stock. I like restored cars with everything painted but also like to see the polish and chrome highlights.
