for your engine, i recomend taking off parts, one at a time, taking a dremel tool and cleaning them off, clean out the insides with alcahol and then take an engine paint with high temp threashold and seal off any vaccum hose input and outputs with tape, same with any electrical components and just spray it down with any color you want. Dont forget to whipe down the parts after you dremel them with a rag and alcahol to get all the little pieces. You should use somthing extrememly flamable and .1% water or less in it to clean and rinse. Dont use Isopropl 88% or anything, because the other 12% is water, and that wont dissapear so quickly. anyways, you can get some nice looking chrome or silver colored paint, go red, blue, black or white... whatever you want to trim it out with. The nice thing about that is you will make the engine not only look better, be be much less suseptable to rusting, and when it gets dirty, it cleans off with a simple spray of water. Also replace your vaccum tubes if your going to take them off. Often times old tubes may be fine while they are still on whatever they attach to, but if you take them off and try to put them back on, and they slide on really easy, chances are they arent sealing anymore and the rubber has dried out, causing leaks. if its already new rubber, and still springy, then maybe it will be ok. Thats what i would do to dress the engine bay.
Just do it one part at a time, and dont forget to lable your lines, or take pictures in addition to lables, so that you can easily put it back the way it should be.
