I'd say just stick w/ Black for the block and incorporate some silver and a dark charcoal grey into it possibly thru some brackets and your valve covers depending on far you want to go w/ it. I think these colors look great in contrast to the alumnium peices that are already on the mortor. Stick w/ these three colors and it should turn out great, kind of has an industrial look to it. Just my .02 but the yellow would just look out of place. Heres a couple pics of what I am referring to, one of the baddest LX motors motors I have ever seen.......

For color I also like the idea of a nice red! Will really look pretty nice but that hugger orange color will aslo look pretty classic. Now that I look at it......it is a hard decision to make now. Man, that motor up there looks like it can be eaten off!


Congrats Bud, that's a pretty name ya'll choose.

I would say red IMO. Red and black have always gone together good. If not red though, orange would be my next choice.
