TimE,

Here are some pictures I have of a restored 64 C10 with a 230. Not sure of the color correctness though.

Re: 64 V-8 engine Color?!!??!!
So it looks like i'm going to rock the gray on my 350, but does anyone have advice on a brand of paint to search or a paint code for me? I'm having a hell of a time with my paint supplier locating a chevy gray engine enamel to spray with.

Last time I was at Autozone there was a dark gray universal type engine paint that looked very close. As few engines that where painted gray by GM I don't think you are going to find anything. Ford painted their engines gray for a while in the late 80's and early 90's but it was a much lighter gray.

Re: 64 V-8 engine Color?!!??!!
Just wondering what color green the 327 was and if anyone has pictures? I have a 327 block with a 350 crank (so it's a 350 I know) but making it look almost original would be cool.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 64 V-8 engine Color?!!??!!
Anyone know if the GMC was any different than Chevy? My 64 GMC was and is a 230, so I'm assuming it was blue....

I scored a set of 283 origiinal valve covers a couple years ago in a junkyard from a 4-5-6 truck and they were also dark grey...
