Pulled the 216 from my buddy’s all original 1951 3100 last Saturday. As we were loading it for the return trip to San Antonio I noticed the very back of the head was painted yellow. The color continued further down the motor. Once I clean up the motor I’d like to rattle-can paint it. I’ve never seen a yellow motor in a half ton before. Was this engine originally painted yellow? Thanks.
