One good place to try would be www.stovebolt.com

They'd be happy to help you out.

We've discussed this one at the stovebolt page numerous times. The engine can be one of two colors, Chevy blue or gray. They were turned out in both colors, no one seems to know why. My 52's 216 was blue, I have seen others that were gray. Pick the one you like best and go with it. My 235 is Chevy blue.
