Inline six
 

I have a dumb question, did chevy motors come from the factory painted blue? I am looking at buying a running inline six from an 84 C10. The motor is complete with dizzy, starter, alt, carb, and intake. I am wanting to put this motor in my 69 GMC. I am going to put a 4.3 throttle body on it, some headers, and a 200r4. I don't think its a ford inline, but you can tell the paint has been there a long time, the whole motor is painted on a light blue color. Any input would be great.

All chevys '77-'81/82 were painted blue, '82/83 and on were painted black

Try to look past all the crud and grime to see the OG blue on my '78 250

If it's an integral head 250 then headers and intakes don't fit.
Integral head means intake is cast with the head. All one piece.

Thank you for the information. It does not have the integral head thank goodness. I bought the whole engine for $125!

I love the 1/2 dozens. I had a 79 GMC long bed with 3 on the tree with one. The body rusted out from under it. Shame, too 'cuz it was still running great.

I've messed with a lot of brands 6 cylinders and my favorites are the chrysler 225, the ford 300, the chevy 250 and the jeep 4.0L.
