See pics..

I had a hell of a time finding the right factory green, never have been able to get it right until now.

Turns out it's exactly the same as John Deere tractor green, I bought this paint
(http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarestore.com/49-266-industrial-spray-paint/bps-tractor-and-implement-spray-647538.aspx)

at my local tractor supply, btw, it is really good paint too, very thick, and a beautiful finish.

Nice looking engine. Is it going to be turbo'ed or NA? Any mods to the pump? If you don't mind how much have you put into the rebuild (cost) I am in the early stages of doing same. Looks great.
