Re: Engine Color Choice vote

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
Why not paint it body color to match the truck?

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
![]() don’t listen to the lies.....silver produces 22% more horsepower then anything else in the color spectrum And by the way black is not really a color....its the absence of color ![]()

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
I just had my 383 painted orange it looks nice. I couldn’t go with black, because all my components are powder coated black!

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
Black is to plain. Show off your engine with Chevy orange. It doesn't matter what the color or theme of you ride is Chevy orange always fits and chevy orange will NEVER go out of style.

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
I liked the idea of the body color which is a Aqua Pearl. I might just try a coat of it to see. If not I'll most likely stay with the orange......

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
What do you all think. I went and did the block the color of my truck. Should I keep this color, or Orange? Oh, no brass plugs in her yet......

Re: Engine Color Choice vote
