Re: Green Engine block

Here's an engine I bought from a junkyard that is exactly what you asked for, green with black heads! Supposedly rebuilt (and it seems to have been) and it came with a new Edelbrock carb for $4 bills!

The green isn't my cup of tea so I changed it to orange before putting it in my 71 C20.
