Car is a 70 lemans but heavily modified with a gto hood, interior, engine, canvas convertible top, and highly upgraded suspension all done on a frame off in my garage. Just trying to make it look closer to stock but a close look not even close. Hydroboost, Edelbrock heads, 461 CI, hyd roller, WATTS link, tubular arms etc. Did not go overboard hiding it just made it blend in. Went with the engine color as it was close but looks very good. After painting this engine and a couple of Fords (blue) I would only do one with an activated paint and spray gun as it really looks nice. I primed and glazed the valve covers, took a needle scaler to the face of the heads to rough them up and it blends very nice to look stock.
