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.
This is pretty much the plan, except for polishing the covers. Too much on top of them for me to keep up the polish. Shiny paint, wipey wipey, done!
