I like how you went with natural or silver on the intake, because I believe it's aluminum correct? BTW, you can feel a seat of the pants difference with a k&n element, and even more with an open air cleaner, especially with the lid. It also really howls under heavy throttle which can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much you like your truck to express its feelings, haha.

Yeah the intake is aluminum so I went with a cast aluminum paint. My hope is that I can get 250k miles out of this engine. It runs so good, plugs burn good and still good oil pressure.
Interesting about the air cleaner. I’ll have to try it. As someone who has owned a dozen or so quadrajet fed 350’s, I do love a good howl. Haha
