I think that from an artistic point of view, black would make the block part of the background. If mine was black, from this angle you wouldn't even see it.

That's what I was saying. Black Firewall, black inner fenders, black frame, black rad and hoses. The engine get's lost in there if it's black too. Orange draws attention to it. Engines cost a lot, don't want it to look like it's not even there.
