Default Engine and Engine Compartment

I would like to dress up my engine and engine compartment to its original look. Would it be possible for Ford Barners to post some pictures so I can match colors of components? UPS man is coming today with my new Snyder head and I would like the engine to look as pretty as she is going to run.

Thanks,
Paul

Terry, thanks for the pictures they are perfect. TinCup, if the question was towards me, I bought my paint through Snyders and it is Seymours Cast Blast. Through previous posts some of the Ford Barners recommended it.
