Default Engine shots lets see em!

I'm trying to decide on the paint/powder/polish scheme for my NA 439, so lets see what everyone else has done, both in and out of the boat. No extreme exotics or merc crates here!

I went with black silver and polished aluminum but decided this year to eliminate the polished aluminum and add some color which will match the wrap!

Are those intake manifolds powdercoated? They look great!

Thanks!
Yes everything that could except the heat required to bake powder coat was done! Intakes, all pulleys, brackets, rear accessory plates, valve covers, air cleaners!

The intakes and pulleys are done with a metallic silver color, everything high gloss!

I had a couple of parts done at Ozarks Hydrographics. Here is the intake plenum from a 373 Scorpion. The green matches the synergy green on the boat.
