What does your bay look like?
Hey n00blike -
Sorry no photo but just wanted to say I understand your quandry.
I'm sure you're going to find most of the photos that will be posted are going to show 'HemiOrange' engines or engine blocks. And some engines or blocks are going to be painted body color.
My '69 Dart is still in construction and my current plan is to paint the car Viper Red. I'm not a fan of body color engines and don't think a 'HemiOrange' painted engine block is going to 'pop' against the Viper Red. I'm also not a fan of other Mopar engine colors. So what to do?
I've settled on a blue color that's going to have good contrast with the Viper Red but still 'pop' when used with the polished aluminum components I'm planning.
Suggestion: take a look at the photos that will be posted and then do what you like best. It's your money and your car and you're the one that needs to be happy when all is said and done.
