I'd keep it red. Anything else would look out of place with your fans and slam panel.
I suppose a good shade of gold could work?

I've always thought red and cream/ivory would go good together, then again may be a good idea in the head and terrible when done.. Just a thought though!

TBH I don't think it needs changed.
It looks NICE the way it is.
If it's not broke, don't fix it lol.

A light gray would complement the block. Depends how far you go with it though

Tbh it's gorgeous right now, the only parts I'd do white personally is the cam covers and maybe fans.

its carbed so that got rid of a lot of things, fuseboxes inside i imagine.
servo think he runs a different pedal box setup but maybe wrong!
I think it looks AMAZING as it is you need to bring a new colour to everything though if that makes sense or it won't look right. White or cream would work. But it'll look a lot like wassys. I would go either gloss black, stay red or gold but i can't imagine the gold maybe champagne?

As already said; it looks soo good just as it is but, I agree with Jage, in that, if you want a change, black would make the engine stand out more. Then change the black details like strut brace and covers to red or white and maybe red hoses.

What have beanie and Moo done? Yes they've built the engine (very well ill add!) but fisher has put it into his car, smoothed his bay, relocated wires etc and colour coded the engine bay.

I would do it white but would mean wassy had done the same so don't want to copy, also adding gold wassy has already done, I need a bright colour if not i will keep it red and gloss black, I was thinking anthracite grey or a metalic looking dark grey but even still would look too dark
