dzahm 10 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Post this in the general section- also be more specific (painting the car itself orange or the engine? or the engine bay) Your engine bay looks good, I see no signficant rust, so hopefully a scotchbrite pad will do the trick for the bay area. You do know chevrolet painted engines orange right? You might not know Ford engines will not run if they are painted orange, in fact if it runs at all you will lose 100 horsepower just from that "modification". (ok maybe not exactly, but you won't get much love here if you paint the motor orange; and every car show you'll have to deal with "so why did you put a chevy motor in it?")
