Paint the block gray and all the other attaching pieces black or vice versa. That should give you a good contrast. It should really make it pop without being over dominating.

Dont paint it at all. I used the dupilicolor and it is flaking off on my 418. If you are going to paint it you need to get it powder coated. I painted mine chevy orange. Looks good.

i like the chevy orange on old school sbc's but it's very hard to keep up.
imo, go black and don't turn back.
