I'm getting close to painting the block and head prior to assembley. The side cover, oil pan, MC lid, and dual air cleaners will be polished steel, clear coated with high temp powder matching my current valve cover. The carbs and edelbrock intake will also be polished. The inner fenders will remain black, all the engine tubing will be stainless or black. The tranny, bellhousing, waterpump, thermohousing, MC body, will be painted w/ Chevy Dutys' high temp "stainless" manifold coating as they are now. The headers are ceramic coated with "Chromex" and will remain the same.
So... for the block and the head. I'm still undecided. My current choices are the stock, light blue that is on my original 235, the "stainless" color as on the parts listed above(you can also see that color in my pics), or maybe that gray color from the earlier 261s. Any suggestions?
