Wow, AMS, really? They built a 350 for my high school car back in 1994. Nice to see them still around.

A good friend of mine brought me the engine yesterday, so I had a chance to get into the shop early this morning to assemble a few things. Your thoughts.........should I dust some paint on the motor of just leave the turd as is???
  The car is starting to come together, just need more time.

----Boy! Hard call. As much paint as is missing I think I'd have to paint, but I would understand your reluctance. I just can't leave anything alone, a possible character flaw!....Bill S

I would leave it. Opening the hood and seeing fresh paint would be jarring, out of place. But that's just me.

If you truely mean "dust" as in very lightly and leaving it aged and dull appearing, I would cover up some of that bare steel, if for no other reason that to prevent rust.

The block looks pretty good from what I can tell, I'd get a spare head or oil pan and mess around trying to make it look aged like the block. I've read articles about it being done before but I've never tried it myself.

A light dusting would be perfect to at least try and replicate the survivor look.
