Those are beautiful pics of the engine compartment. It would be so nice to have an engine looking like that. Nice job !

Red is nice, but I'll go traditional with the blue.

Does anyone else think Ford could have routed the wires better it looks slapshod. Do you think it will be possible to hid some of the wires and hoses?

I plan on trying to reroute my wires if at all possible, it's pretty cluttered in the engine bay. The paint you can you use is simple self etching primer, brake caliper/ engine block paint, and then a few coats of high temp clear coat. Just dont spray the undersides of the valve covers.

Excellent chops guys. That would be great if Ford ever offered valve covers and manifold covers in body color. I doubt it ever would, but its a nice touch, and I really like how it looks!
