I bought one to replace the bad motor in mine, but its out of a car, and is turquoise? We are putting it in tonight, and would like to paint it first, so i appreciate any help getting a quick answer on this... | | |

It is supposedly a different color than that used on 1953 and earlier truck engines. The Filling Station lists the same engine color for 51-62 Chevrolet cars and trucks ("blue"). This certainly cannot be correct for all those years of 6-cylinder cars and trucks - in at least 1954 (and later) the car 235 was called the Blue Flame Six and it was undoubtedly painted a different color (blue) than the truck engine (gray). Here is the 1954 truck engine gray sold be Jim Carter. Tim | | |
