Default What Color should I paint MY motor?
I can't decide on what color to paint my Stroker motor. I know its a petty thing but I am really stumped... Black seams boring and want a color to go well with my silver XJ.

Ok onto colors... (I am leaning towards Orange)

the Mopar Factory Colors options


Blue (Mopar P4349217)


"Hemi Orange" (Mopar P4349216)


Red (Mopar P4349218)


Gold (Mopar P4529149)

I like your XJ.

I'd say grey or silver with black accessories if ya want it to match the exterior color.

Mopar orange with a black valve cover and a silver intake manifold, paint the brackets and engine mounts black, leave the water pump silver, and paint the exhaust manifold/header with high temp black header paint.

This is what I was thinking of doing... have black exaust wrap with black coating for the manifold. will be painting the brackets black. I like the idea of leaving the waterpump and intake silver...

Out of the colors you have to choose from, I'd go with the orange. Have you considered neon green?
