Quote: Rick, I thought about shooting a satin clear on the intake, but I'm worried that it will eventually turn yellow from the heat. I've searched the internet to find a clear that has positive reviews about not turning yellow and being fuel resistant, and I haven't found one yet. So for now, I'm going to leave the intake as is. As for the valve covers, I might spray them the hemi orange and sand down the tops of the ribs and lettering to the bare aluminum. Like this...
Too much orange IMO

My thinking as well, Rick. However, I'm sure Dan did a nice job sealing up the intake, and I don't feel like ripping it off the engine, not at this time anyway. I've got bigger fish to fry in this build. The intake will stay, but I may paint the valve covers a color that resembles natural cast aluminum and call it good.
