If I get bored this winter I might try it but I have the block and head painted orange and the valve cover and other parts painted black so it does not look too bad,originally everything on the motors were painted the same color which is too much of the same color. The more I think about it is I would rather redo the interior then paint the motor so it will be left orange unless it would have to come out but if that was the case the motor would have to be really broke since alot can be done to it still in the chassis.
