Welcome to FTE Ryan!!...this is THE place to get the most opinions in the world, on what to do to YOUR truck!!!
Just joking of course! Lot's of GOOD info here, take your time and sample some of the many forums . The paint and body forum is always interesting,
My opinion on your truck? ..if your engine is rebuilt and painted?...it just wouldn't look right in rough looking enginebay....then again if it looks Cool!!..it will look Cool anywhere! Welcome!

It is MUCH easier to paint the firewall without the engine in the way. You can detail the entire engine compartment, frame and front suspension also. Then install the engine and trans. You'll be glad you did.
