Here are mine, sandblasted, polished up a bit, then 2 coats Engine enamel primer, 2 coats engine enamel chevy engine orange, then 2 coats engine enamel clear coat.





In person they look better...it sucks...there is like no "orange peel" its smooth as glass.

Ill be sure to take pictures of the whole motor when its done my plans are, Black valley cover and front cover, orange block and valve covers. The rest will stay as factory intended...it will be a work of art hidden by harnesses and brackets haha...also thanks.
