I have taken my time prepping this motor and making it look good before I put it in my truck. It actually looks to clean to even set next to it haha. Well Thhe motor is all done for the most part and I was going t bolt the bell and trans up to the motor but I just car bolt up something that looks old and crappy to a nice motor. I degreased the trans but it looks old and rusty. Should I paint the trans and bell? If so what color? I painted the motor gloss black and intake/exhaust manifolds are vht cast.

My opinion?  Paint it the color YOU want it, it's YOUR truck, not mine.

Im just stuck between cast/silver or black on trans case and bell. Any pics guys?

One thing to consider, black hides leaks well which can make it difficult to find the source.

That is true....well I am going all cast aluminum paint for bell and trans to match the aluminum tailshaft

What paint did you use on those ramhorns? will it hold up to the higher temps? I would like to do the same thing to my rams...looks good so far keep the pics coming

1956 F-100 in the works.

I used VHT 1300-2000 degree flame proof. It will definately hold up.
