1966 327 green engine - help me prove it! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got in to a friendly discussion with a gentleman at a car show over the weekend. He has built several NICE original trucks that are restored to original. In his current truck, the correct 327 was painted gray like the 283's are. He told me (and I agree) that the chart in the back of a 1966 owner's manual shows that 283 and 327 are both supposed to be painted gray. However, I am 99% sure that the 327's are Alpine green. I told him I had an original paint valve cover with High Torque 327 decal still on it but he still seemed unsure. Does anyone have any factory photos or other literature that would confirm this? Thanks.
