now that is nice and very tastefully done. I expecially like the black intake manifold.

what are you going to use the clear coat the engine? the paint will fade and eventally burna nd flake off if it is not coated with something?

i was going to paint my entire engine black too, with red valve cover though, the "testarosa" must live!! (red-head for you who dont know what testarosa means)

looks really nice though, never thought of painting the pully's.
