I don't like chrome on these cars. Red is the easy choice, like the engine cover that came with my car anyway. Blue I don't think contrasts enough.

So I said yellow, under the hood, it will surprise people when you show them and the contrast will be sharp.

What about a combination of two colors? I built a SBC several years ago, used purple, silver, and blue, with polished Aluminum and stainless steel hardware where possible. Just a thought...
