Re: Engine color
I've always liked a red engine, but it's hard to go wrong with Chevy Orange as well. My 81 Z28 came with the factory with a light blue engine though, and I always thought it looked strange on a small block.

Re: Engine color
Just off a guy that was starting a project and then bailed. I'm pretty sure he just had them chromed himself.

Re: Engine color
Pink, inside and out on my Monza! Well... kind of rasberry pink. All depends on what your looking for. OE, custom, contrast, monochromatic?

Re: Engine color
Personally, I don't think anything beats Chevy Orange.

Re: Engine color
Black, looks better with the shinys and helps with the heat. Orange comes in second, because its Chevy. MY .02 $.
Later Willis
