I painted my 350 crate motor black. Or at least kept is black and painted the water pump to match. And installed a black Edelbrock air cleaner. The aluminum intake and carb are natural for contrast. It looks ok, but I have 2 black and silver small blocks in 2 different vehicles. I think I should've painted one orange.

My first vote would be orange, but I think a strong case could be made for red depending on the style of your build.

I wouldn't paint your engine and trans unless you asked me to at that point my first question would be what color would you like me to paint it ? Good luck with your choice

Chevy orange or cast iron gray with black accents.

A silver truck with a bright orange SBC looks pretty awesome.

As for the gray/black, check out Bosshogg69's truck.

I remember when Chevrolet let the almost Ford Blue color dominate the smog motors of the 80's. I will not ever look back at that one again.

CHEVY ORANGE! Its been around for over 5 decades.

Paint it black..... nothing worse than a little grease and grime on a orange engine.

Red to match the interior would be cool but you couldn't go wrong with black or a cast iron gray either. If you're like me, this kinda thing will keep you up at night. lol

You mean this guy? Block and heads black, intake is body color, but flat instead of gloss is what's in the first two pics. But that motor fell victim to the weight of my right foot. The third pic is what's in there now, black block & intake, heads left in natural aluminum, headers will be coated black too. I love silver and greys! But I do like Chevy orange too! A red engine with black or silver accents would look badass with your color combo.
