To me, a purist to be sure, polishing the aluminum sounds like a terrible idea; unlike paint or plating it can't be undone and just destroys the originality forever. With the painted parts done well with correct paints, manifolds re-procelainzed, and the plated parts done in the proper nickel plate finish, it's a very attractive engine without mutilating the aluminum.


Agreed.

I've seen high-end cars "restored" with polished blocks, too, but they weren't that way originally. It looks cheap, in my opinion. If you want it to look its best, stay with original.
