    Painted my engine bright yellow with the POR engine kit. The paint has held up great, was easy to apply, and you can spot leaks a mile away with the light color! POR makes a bunch of different engine colors, I highly recommend them.

    There are no shortage of NOS parts out there, the problem is that with online pictures there is no real color calibration. Add in variations in monitors and its a fools errand trying to match colors via the net..

    Add to it variations in paint between batches, aging etc and there comes a point where you just have to just pick something and go with it.

    Well I told my friend to go with Detroit Diesel green and I think the motor paint fashion police would be pleased!

    Not to hijack the thread, but what are the 2 copper lines for on that freshly built engine over the intake manifold? Looksike one goes to the intake port for the brake booster?
