IMO if you want to make it more retro, you should paint the block orange, even the timing cover (unless you add other chrome to the engine). It will look more stock with the retro Coca-Cola theme. Even with the Edelbrock top, mine looks very stock just orange and black. I also used my original valve covers for the look.

My thoughts exactly. I like a clean original look. I'm not a chrome kind of guy, unless it's on the outside of a Buick. Under the hood, just orange and black. PM me next time your going through Sac, I live on the north side, just off of I-5, near Arco Arena. Truck is close by in West Sac.
If I had time tomorrow, I'd swing by Chico and say hi. I'm heading to Redding for a meeting in the afternoon.
