While it's apart you may want to think it over again. You could paint the engine a nice bright contrasting color to the body. Flat black hides all sorts of defects like oil leaks, rust, dirt, etc. but it never looks clean. Look under the hood of any GM muscle car and you will see - not much. Since it's flat and black it absorbs light making it very hard to see when you are working in there. However, if you are happy with it, it is your car and you should do it the way you want.
