Sorry I cheated only sbc I've done up nice is in my boat. After basic rebuild I ground, sanded and polished the block and heads to get a nice smooth surface to paint. No casting flash, no ledges or overhangs where heads meet block radiusing square edges. All of this work makes the engine easier to clean later. Its a ton of work and makes a huge mess.

Oh back within the rules, the 5.3 that's in my truck. Everything is painted because bare aluminum corrodes and looks bad. Engine still looks good 3 years of dd later.
