1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX

With all that AL on the top end of the engine, I can see going either way. If you're going silver with the intake, I guess you could go silver with the heads, too. I don't know what it takes to powder coat heads, and if you've got to take them all apart to do it, that might not be worth the hassle. I think having a bunch of bright AL over an orange block would look great. Would probably be more "business" if everything was dressed up like a stock engine... with some latitude for the injected cross-ram six-pack being a slight deviation from stock...

All that said, I painted my AL M1 intake because it wasn't bright, raw aluminum when I got it, and I'm not sure I could get it back there, either. The AL Magnum alternator in my car is also kind of dull gray, with the occasional white speck of corrosion popping up.
