For a good aluminum look you can try Duplicolor aluminum paint. I sprayed the case of my T56 with it. It matched the new OE bellhousing I bought very well. My only complaint is it has just a little bit too much sheen when it's fresh. It loses the sheen over time or at least the LT1 intake that was on my last engine did - it ends up looking very natural.

Depends if you plan on keeping the car the same color. With the frame, firewall, inner fenders being a dark color. The engine being black it will disappear. If everything around it is dark it should be light in my opinion.*

Thanks again guys for all the great input! I never really liked the color differance of the silver...it was sold as an aluminum color paint but turned out bright silver. Oh well, no biggie!
