Should be bright enough, and placed far enough away, probably safe from engine heat and vibration...
Sorry, but do you want the engine lighted while you are driving? Who'd see it??
Its a slow day.....
Gorgeous motor, BTW!!

I have two of these (although not for your purpose) no wires, no modifications, low profile, hook/stick it to the underside of your hood when you get to the show and you'll be able to change the plugs at midnight with no moon... it's pretty bright and a little bigger than a CD.

I used a set of LED's for my Harley tail light. They are pretty bright but add a resistor or rheostat and you can make it as dim as you want. It was about $20 for a strip of 24.

A strip or two hidden under that lip on your air breather may work well. I have seen a lot of them used on motorcycles and they look best when there hidden up under stuff and you just see the light shining on the chrome with out accually seeing the lights. A red "glow" would look killer with all that chrome.
