Thank you guys so, so much. This is truly the best old car/truck forum I have ever been a part of. And thank you so much for all the wonderful links. I do now know they were painted the block color. From my research 66 was the first year Chevy used the 327 in trucks. Depending on what site or who you talk to the color was alpine green, others say Detroit Diesel green. Eastwood has both covered as I just bought two cans of engine paint in "Detroit Diesel Alpine green", great marketing huh? Also I have been tumbling the nuts and bolts, small parts and the brackets, when degreased and tumbled do show evidence of green.

Well thanks again and stand by for my next question.
