V8 Engine Color? Experts help!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have any literature showing correct engine color for a 1966 327 V8? The back of the owners manual has 283 and 327 as gray. BUT I have an original 327 truck motor and it is green (like 292 L6 green). I also know of 2 other trucks here local and under the grease and grime is factory green paint. Mine even still has the "High Torque 327" decal on the valve covers. Any ideas?? I am restoring my truck original and want to have some literature to back me up when I paint my engine green - I'm sure it will get questioned!!! Thanks.
