What's your opinion on my engine color?

[INSIDIOUS '86]

Us it to much or just right? Would you change anything?

I think its on the edge as it sits. Maybe paint the balancer and thermostat housing a different color, but I certainly wouldn't add anymore blue parts...just my .02.

[ninjaboy76]

I think it looks good, but chrome valve covers and a few other chrome pieces would really set it off.

[Pop's C-10]

Just chrome air cleaner..black pulley's & brackets & call it good..

[SCOTI]

What's it going in?

[68Timber]

I'd put a stock black air cleaner on that engine.

If it's a quick sell leave it as is

Put some POLISHED ALUMINUM stuff on it, ie... Valve covers, timing cover, water neck, pulleys... Other than that, if it matches the truck, looks great

My opinon is your going to need something to break up the blue... Chrome, Black, or Combo of both.

[vidman]

The only thing that is blue on my motor is the block...just my 2-cents

[boatpuller]

Sure that's not a Ford ? J/K.......looks good.I agree it needs some bling though.

[cyclefreak207]

I like the color, but like most said, black or chrome to break it up, maybe black air cleaner, balancer and water neck. and if there's imprinting on the air cleaner and valve covers scrub some blue into the imprints!

But that color is great, was thinking of doing something similar when I rebuild mine in the next few weeks.

[Low87]

Holy crap! It's a bit much by itself. Would have left the valve covers & water neck a different color. It won't be too much once everything is buttoned up, but right now it's a lot.

[meatwagon83]

i wouldnt have painted the intake, unless it looked really bad, and i would have painted the motor orange. it wont look bad once its in the truck with everything on it

[manimal]

the fins on the valve covers need to be silver/polished...cant tell, but are those aluminum? Also some polished stainless bolts would make it pop!

[manimal]

305? isnt that carb a bit big?

[INSIDIOUS '86]

305 yes and that 750 is big but its not going to be her home

I was thinking of putting inbetween the fins on the valve covers. I'm going for a stock ish clean look under the hood of my stepper. The headers will be black and all the accessories will help break up the blue. I will do a chrome thermostat housing later which will help some

Do something with the valve covers, polish fins or paint them and add a chrome thermostat housing and your good to go.

[88Jimmy4x4]

chrome dont get you home nor add HP.....engine looks good to me, once you add brackets, air cleaner etc it will change the overall look and add contrast

[1979cstepside]

too much blue just get you some chorme valve covers and you will be good!

I like the color. Once you do the other work you said it will look good. What do you think of it?

[meter swinger]

I'm with bruiser. Black will go a long way, especially since you want a factory look. Do what yezzi does under the hood and will look like a million bucks, no matter what color the engine is.
