The complete motor was blue b4 rebuild, im now going more for the natural look?? by this i mean sump zinc plated timing cover stripped clean alloy look, water pump stripped and cleaned, manifold stripped and cleaned with ford motorsport rocker covers.
The block/heads is the only thing im not sure of yet??
option 1: BLUE 2: BLACK 3: SILVER ( paint you can buy gives the clean metal look)
I have seen all silver/alloy ones and I am not completely sold on the idea but think they look best against a bright colored engine bay.I recconn it would look better with contrasting block/heads but do what YOU like as your going to look at it more than anyone else.
I intend to go for a black engine bay ,black motor ,a FEW chrome accessories and maybe a couple of bright colored highlighted bits.
Yeah, I think krankieone's right. Its YOUR decision Fastback. I do like blue Ford motors though.....
Why don't you check out the Events Gallery . There are heaps of photos of show cars and their engine's in there for you to get ideas from !

I could be wrong...... I have been before.
Yes i stepped in the Garage also hoping to give it a clean before i start assembling, but the heat was too much. Lounge room, air con and cable is the go for today and possibly tomorrow.
The sump after i got it zinc plated. Assembly commences tonight, short motor will be ready to be fitted back in the car on Saturday Morning. All going well car will be ready to go Saturday Night.
Glad you finally got everything ! The pistons look good. You'll be cruizing this Saturday night !
