Yes in that it will appear somewhat traditional but no in that the colors will be totally different.

I LOVE Chevy orange but since my truck will be a deep red including the engine compartment I decided against painting the engine orange. Block is black and aluminum LS heads have been left natural.

Same/similar exhaust manifolds as in your picture but I'm having mine Jet Hot coated silver. I'm told they will NOT turn color, we'll see. Finned valve covers but polished/no paint (as of now) and I'm using the factory truck serpentine system but polished with the recessed areas painted black - hopefully the overall look will pull together.

If it doesnt look right I'll need you guys to tell me, "Ugh....no. Something's not right, change this or that." It's easy to get too close and you can't see the forrest for the trees.
