engine color
I'm building a 355 for my 82 C10 and trying to decide what color to paint the heads, block, and oil pan. The intake manifold and valve covers are aluminum.
Factory color for that year (Chevy Blue or GM Blue?) Chevy orange? Medium gray? I'd go with black, but over the years I've found it's hard to troubleshoot fluid leaks with a black block and oil pan. I know this is a personal preference kind of thing, but I'd appreciate your comments.
