I opted to piant it GM Blue as opposed to the lighter blue. I am waiting on the machine shop for the head right now. When I took the valve cover off I noticed almost half of the push rods were not quite as straight as they should be, I have twelve new ones to put in. What color should the intake be, is it same as the engine? And then is the exhaust manifold just black? Also the valve cover was black, should it be engine color. I know these are my choice but was just curious how it looked out of the factory. Engine Drivers side Engine Passenger Side Not painted Yet Cylinder that got hit by a valve I think I posted the pics right, let me know if not. Thanks Birge | | |

There are a few I guess I thought most of them were stock, I am gonna get some Grommets for Most of them. Also thought for the inside of the truck I might buy the inside cover.
Thanks
