Thanks everyone.. I painted it with Silver chrome first, them a Candy Red , then clear coat.. I love the looks of the color.. I'm gonna do a little more, but not much, I don't want it to look silly..

As for the Intake, I have the entire WIZAIR unit. I can't get the box to fit correctly yet. I have tried to jam it in and it just isn't HAVEING no of that... Once it's in, I think the engine is ALMOST done.. Have to paint the dog bone mounts, altinator and strut mounts.. Think that will end the engine. I like the way it's headed though... Thanks again all you guys.. Means a lot.. Mjclemm....

Think I may just touch up the black a little. But besides the WizAir box and new Aluminum side braces, I'm done with the motor, now underneath the hood..

Thanks.. In person it looks way better than the picture... The Candy Red and the yellow really make it "POP". it's cool as heck....I don't think I'm gonna do anymore paint, just repaint the black, under the hood is gonna be black, then the engine bay itself will be reprinted black to spruce it up a bit.. The wires are gonna be done, , the Radiator hose as well will be wrapped in chrome red.... I was thinking about doing the bottom of the hood in black, then the "cutouts" done in the Chrome red as well.... It's a hit or miss, just don't want to make it corny by doing way to much color.. Thanks again, Mjclemm...

The candy over chrome on the engine cover really turned out good - I like it!
