you could spray a high temp clear on the block and heads,would make it shiny and keep the alumunin from getting stained.Dont mount the coils on the heads is a good way to make it look good,design a way to mount the on the femnderwells or firewall.painting the intake will dress it up,not seeing that plastic intake.

polished alumunin on a street car is a pain,i have a polished sheetmetal on one of mine and had the fuel side of the nos nozzle not tighted and sprayed fule on the intake stained the **** out of it,took a week to powerball it shiny again.I didn't want to pull the intake off

You could always paint it alumunin color.the plug wires I dont know the answer,those are cool valve cover and with msd coils would look good I wouldn't use black coils

You are reading my mind!!!

Those red coils would really pop on those sheetmetal VC's!

Aluminum paint is untouchable...You touch it, it will stain you silver every time....

I tought about powdercoating. Bummer is you have to take everything apart.
(if its a good idea to start with)

Ceramic coating?

How about getting it polished and then clear anodized or powdercoat?
