Picture request: M42 Engine bay shots

[royalflush313]

I'm looking into powdercoating/polishing the valve cover and intake manifold and i wanted to get some ideas.

Right now, I'm thinking of powdercoating the v.cover black and then leaving the intake manifold alone. Should I have it smooth or textured?

Getting the two fully polished would be nice too, but that will end up being too much work and/or too expensive.

Pictures, opinions, suggestions are all appreciated.

Thanks.

I have my valve cover and intake painted black. I'll get some shots today.

I used wrinkle-coat on my M42's valve cover, and machined the lines with my dads Bridgeport. Also added Mcoupe oil cap. I wanted to do the same with the intake manifold, but didn't want to disconnect it, beed blast it, etc...just cleaned up the cosmoline and left it alone.
