Default Cleaning up stock stuff under the hood, N/A trucks

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to do a cam swap and was looking for pictures of stuff people have done to clean up the looks under the hood. Like painting the block/ heads/ valve covers, etc. rerouting wiring or hoses maybe?

I've done a lot of searching and can find tons of stuff from the f body guys, but not much for looking good on the truck side of things.

Post up your pics or ideas guys!

I have searched a lot and nothing really comes up, or a lot of them are guys with turbos or superchargers, not what I'm looking for.

2000chevysilverado: Did you remove the coil from the heatsink to paint it, or just mask around the metal portion? I thought of painting mine like that but didn't know how to go about it

You may want to specify NA only then in your post.

Sorry for the long bump, but how do the coils come out of the metal jacket?
