Ok so I'm putting together a TPI 350 for my Maro, blew the carb'd one. Should I paint the intake or polish it? Polishing it won't be too bad just alot of time, painting seems like the easy way out but I have already painted the block gloss black and the heads silver(aluminum look), valve covers are wrinkle finish black, if I paint it the engine can be back together by friday, polishing is anyones guess... This is what it looks like now...



.
Do I polish the runners and paint the plenum and base? polish the plenum paint the rest? Or Paint it all? Or polish it all? I'm lost give me your opinions.

 

Polish!!!

I do have a billet alternator, waterpump, and PS pump, guess polish wouldn't be too bad, Mike yours looks awesome, kinda wish mine was SD instead of MAF so I could do a filter like that. Guess it all depends on how far I get before my trans comes back. I've had the car painted since like June and only put 150 miles on it I really wanna drive it again.

 

i vote to be different. have the whole friggen setup hard anodized. That would be awsome

 

Didn't think about that... That would be friggin awesome... Looking up anodizers in Southeastern NC or Norhteastern SC right now.
