5.9 stroker build

Greg and I have been hanging around together now for several years and we've come to find that we're on the same page with just about every topic: cars, music, politics, and life's generalities. In fact, I'm building my engine at this specific time only because he was starting to build his 360 and we both agreed it would be fun to build the engines side-by-side. Like Greg, my motor will be painted Go ManGo, a late-model Dodge high impact color. The tangy orange will nicely offset the white engine bay. But its at that point that our paths diverge and Greg's looking back, kind of shaking his head.
I've decided to paint the entire engine Go ManGo: block, heads, intake, front cover, oil pan. Everything. Yes, the gorgeous TF works of art, and the Edelbrock AirGap manifold are going orange. Most engines, including the 440 in my Coronet have aluminum intakes and aluminum heads sitting proudly as-cast on top of a beautifully painted block. This time I'm going understated.
It's not going to be painted all assembled like they did at the factory. Bolt on's will be painted separately, or in the case of the oil pan and front cover, loosely attached to the block without a gasket. I want the gasket edges to show. And the pieces will be bolted on using ARP 12 pt black oxide screws and bolts.
The headers will be powder coated a cast iron gray and the valve covers will be black finned. I was going to paint the damper, but the timing marks are silk-screened so it's staying natural. I think the effect will be stunning; I can't wait to see it come together.
