I have a severe dislike for ANY shade of orange on ANY engine.  I went with a different color.... a burgundy but when it's all together it can't be seen much...??  With the front end on it's even harder to see any block color...

I've had problems with the MP/VHT turquoise changing to the pukey yellow/green when antifreeze got on it. My 1969 340 was that color from the factory, but that is the last engine I'll paint with that color. How about 273 red? Put one some black valve covers and stick on some aluminum fins and try to convince everyone it's a 273 HiPo. I've been trying to get HemiFred to paint the Hemi in his S&M Duster with the Phord Blue like Jake used to paint them.

While I havent done much looking into it, I am throwing around the idea of powdercoating my heads and block. Has anyone done this with iron? Is it ok to do? Looks like yours is altogether and you're probably not willing to do that. Just thought I would chuck the idea out there though.
Either way, finish-wise, I would suggest a very bright red candyish color that pops nicely when the light hits it. That way it matches the red of the ignition components you already have, still allows you to scope out any oil leaks, and will look badass. 
I'm doing the red base, black and raw aluminum theme throughout on my 425 in a dakota that will be all "hotrod black" outside. 
The intake, valve covers, waterpump housing, air grabber parts,,pullys, and much more is powdercoated on my motor..Take into consideration that things like bolts that will be torqued down will chip off the powdercoat easily..

If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
