The right shade of Blue would look good against Hemi Orange and the Silver...
Others have painted it.
If I wasn't lazy when I did my plenum work I would have pulled the fuel rails and painted the kegger... But I'm lazy.

And just because others have done something doesn't make it right.

Need to test this, 1 unpainted kegger versus 1 painted kegger, get the motor at a normal temp, see which is hotter, and see if there is a big enough difference to give a damn...
Is it WhiteNuckle that has a painted M1 or is it gdstock with a painted kegger? I can't remember. Maybe one of them (or whoever has one painted) could check temp....

Merc,
No worries I figured you didn't find anything and then had gotten busy. I did finally find the info on what springs I have on my heads. They are good for up to a .540 lift so when the time comes I will get a cam. I won't be pulling this engine back down til it is time to build the stroker. First I've got to decide if I'm going 408 or 426????
Stewie,
I did some searches last night online and there are tons of folks who paint their intakes. I too would like to know if painting the intake makes that much difference.
Dude94,
No problem. I was just throwing the idea around. Not saying I will or I won't at this point. Got to do a little more research and thinkin.......................
