Re: 72 gmc engine color

ok. well i was wondering what color they used and to tell you the truth i'm kinda tired of the chevy orange thing for right now. the truck is bright yellow and would kinda like the paint to match/contrast the truck. any thoughts? right now the engine is black, in paint and grime(gonna be cleaning it here soon). and what i am also gonna do is do one of those ez efi multi port retro fit harnesses and use a tpi set up in the truck. at least that way when i change displacements then all i gotta do is plug in the specs and go!
