69 air cab. go to the FAQ forum. That has been asked many times and is answered in there for you.

68gmcdually · 10-30-2005, 01:32 PM

Here are a couple pics of my engine while it was going together. There was alot of talking of going red or black but all in all I am glad that I went orange. Mind you I have personally seen 72MARIO's truck and I really like his engine comp.

SERE · 10-30-2005, 01:38 PM

Here is mine. 454 orange block/bellhousing/tranny/transfer case.

68 gmc dulley..........where did you get the tranny paint??? Brand?
Guys, you all have very nice engines. I really liked seeing all those BBs. You helped me get excited about getting my project moving today. I pulled my engine today and got most of it repainted......chevy orange. I had originally painted it red and it was fine but the orange is nice and bright. Thanks to you all............what a great Board.

My dad is one of two canadian Bill Hirsch dealers so I have a virtual endless supply of detailing paints. I believe that it is either cast blast or stainless steel. I will have to check my notes and get back to you on that one. The tranny is coming out and getting rebuilt so I will have to repaint it again anyways.

subtle71 · 10-30-2005, 06:34 PM

OK, I'll be the odd one out! Why not, afterall, I painted my Chevy a Chrysler color. My engine and tranny were painted Deep Mineral Metallic. It is a color used on the newer Mustangs. I loved it the first time I saw it. (I would include a recent pic with all the billet dress ups, but the truck is still in the body shop! One of these days...)

Yeah, that is different

A freinds neighbor painted his John Deere Green with all the yellow accents.

I haven't seen it personally, thank goodness.

Dude, do you have overheating issues with the 6-cyl. radiator?

**SactoJim** · 10-31-2005, 01:22 AM

Not a Chevy Orange but more of a Red.

corn · 10-31-2005, 02:30 AM

One's black & one's Chevy orange. The small block is a daily driver, so it will be easier to keep it clean, at least it will look cleaner...

pat · 10-31-2005, 12:37 PM

black

69 air cab · 10-31-2005, 06:28 PM

sactojim,
I also have a tread requesting pics of firewalls so I can try to determine which holes of the many I have are correct. Do you have more pics of your firewall?

**gregfull** · 10-31-2005, 08:33 PM

Here's my freshly painted engine, valve covers and tranny, painted to match the body color.

dwaite72lnghrn · 10-31-2005, 09:07 PM

Orange coming out and the black going in. I left the new 1 black as it isn't factory. Eventually it will be back to orange when the whole truck gets a frame off.

powell72 · 10-31-2005, 10:39 PM

68Stepbed-I have never had a problem with it getting hot, not even with no shroud. I have a four core that I need to install. I just havn't gotten around to it.

jhwkns · 10-31-2005, 11:25 PM

basic black

**oldiron** · 10-31-2005, 11:43 PM

Being color blind of sorts I am told that mine is chevy org. but it looks grey to me.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-01-2005, 11:04 AM

Here is how I did my 454.

I HAD THAT SAME ISSUE WITH MY 68 iMPALA. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAD A FRIEND ADJUST THE TIMING, AND POOF! NO MORE SMELL AND HARD STARTING.
GOOD LUCK

bbadfred · 03-08-2012, 04:17 PM

Too lazy to paint mine! Factory black block w/aluminum heads just as it was pulled ot of the origonal 40k mile truck
