I like the idea that you are going with the black on the engine instead of the orange. I painted my engine black and have got a bunch of comments about it. I'm not sure what you can do to make sure the paint sticks to the motor. Besides scuffing the paint a little bit then cleaning and then spraying it black... that's all I would know to do.

Make sure when you install the frame connectors that the car has the motor installed, seats, basically complete then have them welded in WITH THE CAR SITTING ON ITS OWN TIRES. Then have them welded in.

I know orange is the correct color for the engine but the car is hemi orange and I think it would be TOO MUCH ORANGE, besides the fact that I'd like to promote my anodizing business with it at shows etc. and a black contrast should really make the anodized parts pop. Did you paint it gloss or satin black, do you have any pics with it in the car? Thanks for the tip about the connectors, I hope they get here soon enough, I'll be welding them on myself with it sitting on it's wheels on the hoist. Kev
