I did my motor in a Black/Silver combination.

Block/ timing cover- Gloss Black then cleared
Oil Pan- Still that gold color Canton uses
Acc. Brackets- Silver then cleared
P/S- pump is black res. is silver, all cleared
Alt.- Silver with black middle cleared
Intake assy.- Black then cleared, helps hide the NOS plate in the middle
VC- powered Chrome
Engine bay Smoothed, Blacked out and cleared
Brake Booster- Silver and cleared.

My car is silver is the reason I went this route. If ya want pics I can send you some jsut hit me on AIM.

Damn Rio5.0, mad props. When I get around to repainting my engine, I'll be sure to get in touch with you. I saw a little rust under my car, I want to spray down with something to keep it from spreading, what do you recommend?
Thanks

how did you get the injtake smooth?
Click to expand...

I used a dremel and alot of diff. grit sandpapers. I basicly took it down to the step before polishing with like 150-220 grit paper and put several light coats of paint on it. The paint was the "new ford gray" from autozone in the spray bomb cans it said high temp w/ceramic on the label so it should last. I did replace the vac. lines and pull/plug the unused lines (like the one in front). I think I will do some more too it soon though. I broke the last cut off wheel when I was cutting off the ear (you can see where I got stoped) and the front bolt hole needs alittle more removed to make it straight.

I love the way it came out, took about 2weeks of working on it a few min. here and there.
