331 hemi corvette gasser What color motor?

As the title implies, I am putting a 331 hemi in an old Corvette gasser. I can't decide what color the motor should be. Chevy orange? Blue looks cool. Body color? I haven't decided on the car color yet, It's pretty much going to be how it is for awhile.

 

Sweet! Make sure to attend all the SuperChevy shows when you're done. I love it!

 

Cool vette! body color or color of pin striping/numbers if you want it to stick out more maybe.

 

I'd go with gold myself.

 

Black, or Hemi Orange!

 

Gold flake !!

 

I agree. Love gold on Hemi's!

 

I think I will be different and suggest a version of white. With a darker engine compartment and some bling on the engine, the white paint will really POP!

Oh yeah, cool 'vette.

 

Gold!

 

Ford red, gives you 10 more horsepower.

 

I'm startin' to feel gold flake...

 

The '51-58 Hemis all came silver, and I think they look pretty sharp that way.

Doesn't really matter though, you can't lose with a Hemi in an early Vette. cool car!

 

Body color.

 

Hemi orange is the only way to go

 

IF this is a street driven car...black sheds the most internal heat, white the least. You don't see white radiators, do you?

 

So, which ol' Hemi was factory painted gold???? I had a picture of one, but I lost it.. You got my vote on the Gold!!!

 

Has to be chevy powered not a chevy body,, I seen mustangs and lambos at super chevy

 

white looks good

 

The Threehundres had gold valve covers. Is that what your thinking of?

 

Ok, thanks. I didn't know that.

 

Paint it Chevy Red, and tell everyone its a Factory EXPERIMENTAL.

 

Thats an interesting looking motor, what kind is it?

 

Body color!

 

i painted my 331 chevy orange..looked good..also painted a 302 chevy orange,,ford guys hated it...

 

Cadliiac Eli.....Caddilac. It's a pretty rad engine huh?

 

Hell yeah! Must be '50s?, never saw a t-stat housing like that, 'course I don't know squat about Caddys anyway.

 

That ain't nothin'.... I'd take it Concours Vette show... That should be fun...

 

I kinda like black and yellow

 

I used GM Gunmetal Grey Metallic on my rigid bobber frame. It contrasted awesome against flat black, stainless, brushed aluminum, chrome and the copper pearl paint. I think it would look great on your motor and would match up with whatever accessories you used on the motor and the colour of the car!
