My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

I should have my motor this weekend. The engine builder just has to assemble the top end. As you can see in the pictures the CE block had no paint on it. Just the blue paint marking on each side. I told him I wanted to paint the motor. Should I try to duplicated the CE replacement motor by painting the block cast grey with blue marking and everything else painted chevy orange? Or should I just paint everything orange. What would you guys do?

From the original owner of the car the motor failed when he left the dealership, just a couple miles down the road the motor locked up. That is a bad day for sure.
