cam belt covers, color? Seeking opinions

I've seen them painted wrinkle red like most valve covers or like pledum intake

 

You could consider media blasting them to remove that shine, and give them a more uniform appearance. Also, some not-too-shiny silver paint would not look bad (until it peeled or chipped). Never seen them wrinkle red.

 

polish them up, dont paint them in my opinion.

 

I did the belt covers on my 308 in red krinkle paint, and like how they came out. To each his own, as they say.

see, I did see them some where,

 

Those might look better sanding off the paint off the raised lines.

 

I like simple. Powder coated the covers in dull deep red and belt covers in crinkle black

Crinkle paint hides a lot of sins. Cheap and easy. I did the belt covers in red so that they match the valve covers.
But crinkle also retains any oil and dirt. Not very visible with black, but the red doesn't stay looking as clean.

 

I thought about that, but on the belt covers, the raised parts are rounded, not flat, like on the cam covers. The cam covers are easy to sand off, as you can see in the picture. But I didn't want to start fooling with the round ridges as it would be hard to control and nearly impossible to get straight, even lines.

 

very nice,I notice that there's only one dizzy instead of two(?)

 

man, thats a beaut clark.

 

Thanks!
Yes, one electronic distributor+MSD for increased reliability.

Many thanks!

I personally love the Krinkle loo in red!

 

and do you notice better proformance,because Scott from mugello motors did one on a 328 that was run by a computer and coils on each cyclnders,supposed to boost the hp by 150%,and of course a turbo included,that was one smart man,I'll miss his work since he's moved south

 

Not to hijack the thead, but Scott's power primarily came from the turbo. This single distributor+MSD was done for simple bulletproof reliability and diy tuning. Starting much improved (MSD?); power is as good or wee better. And, the single distributor looks terrific.

 

your engine is something to be proud of,nice job

 

Steven,

I would opt for grey.

As seen on an F40 (pics posted here before).

My carbed 308GTB uses wrinkle-black cam and belt covers. My Mondial QV has bare aluminum all around.

 

how much do you think you have in the engine if you don't mine telling? that is a very nice and clean engine ,something thats to prefect to put back in the car or leave it out to admire

 

Very nice, indeed!!! The real beauty of any Ferrari is in its engine.

 

Thanks. It makes me feel happy just knowing it is back there.
Cost? I have no idea...seriously... as it was done over years. I can tell you no one can afford it...

 

Are those your stock exhaust with the shields removed?

 

Those actually are not stock, but the stock with the shields off look very similar when cleaned up.
