Should be be sweet but pics will be the judge. Cat yellow looks cool, but I noticed anything I had or used that was yellow broke.

I'm going very similar to what David at DI did on this motor:

Gonna stay simple black block, pan, heads. Valley, front cover, plenums, and accessory brackets to be silver. Valve covers to be red.

Nothing to fancy.

There's just something not right about having an Internatioinal motor painted in CAT yellow or JD green!!!!








However, I must say that you've got the perfect amount of black and yellow. It does look really good and go good together.

I liked the black block, with silver accents, and red vc's. Nice!

Especially with a black truck...

Yellow really brightens the engine bay too where black tends to soak up light and make things hard to see

I think it will be difficult to keep the bright colors clean looking but they look great in those photos. I will also cast a negative vote on the lime green. Sorry Wacker.

Here is mine painted black with all the Accsories just cleaned up some... Like I said if i had to do it over I would have had them paint it a bright silver or something incase I ever had a leak in the future.
