So you know, polishing the SC will hamper it'* ability to shed heat a bit. The paint is there for good thermal transfer. It'* been polished for looks though. To each his own.
The alternator could be painted. If you get the aluminum valve covers off a 3800 F-body, you could polish those. Do something with the engine cover, paint, vent, etc. A nice aluminum intake pipe with a shield around the filter.
Why are you changing the head gaskets?
