Re: Old Yeller's new heart-5.3/4l60 swap!

Looking at the pics of the engine compartment of the truck, I don't think I'd do orange on it. I like the orange in a mostly stock engine bay, which all of mine have been, semi-gloss black core support, inner fenders and underside of the hood. But you've got a lot of yellow in there, so I think I would either go with the gray that you already have or black like it was originally, similar to the small block it has in it now. Then paint the cover yellow and then either polish the valve covers or just paint them yellow while you're painting the cover.
