It's nice very cleeean but I think a simple powdercoated silver would be good. Make sure you do the rest like everyone says.

Would look killer as long as you also did block/head and had a super clean engine bay!

thanks fellas for the comments. I recently got it done and waiting to get it back from assembly. Below is a picture of my engine bay about one year ago. The block and head was spray painted with hi-temp silver. I wasn't planning on doing the tranny case but it is easier to clean with this powder coated finish then the previous raw metal casing.
