I myself would head to a bright neutral color, white, silver or even gold on the block (if not factory) and hit your valve covers air cleaner etc with flash, when I mean that head to the plater or powder coater with the intake,valve covers and etc, the injectors speak for themselves. I think most "motor" guys are more impressed with parts and sound and not color.
The next thing you will have to deal with is other cobra and true Ford fans,true its your car and make yourself happy (hey I have a Chrysler in a Ford) but these guys will tell you about it every time you pop the hood, I hear about it and its a street rod and they tend to never have the "correct" engine for the car, my buddy hears about it with his vette too. Have fun and its a cool car anyway you go
