The black looks great too. Nice engine bay.

Since your engine has black and silver accessories on it, any of those three would look fine.

Nice looking motor. What valve covers are those? I posted a question about the 440 source cast polished covers earlier and they look very close to those.


I honestly can't remember if those were the 440Source or the Summit brand. I currently have the Summit brand cast covers and they look identical to the ones pictured on my Dart.

My current Duster has Rustoleum BBQ paint on the headers and it has the Summit cast polished valve covers.

So I went with what I had bought, which was VHT primer and then VHT aluminum. Came out pretty nice.

Thanks for the advice.
