Here is my "El Cheapo 318" motor. I would like to get more pictures when it is more assembled but i cant resist posting one for now. Since this was on the cheap fancy stuff was just out of the budget. I put some wrinkle finish on the valve covers to make them look like something, and put some high temp silver paint on the intake to make it shine a bit more than the natural finish. Mopar blue on the block.
Going with a silver dipstick, probably a natural finish water pump or maybe silver like the intake, probably some gloss black accessory brackets maybe ill paint the accessories silver. I have a 340 air cleaner to top it all off.
