Re: engine color !
I painted my 350 crate motor black. Or at least kept is black and painted the water pump to match. And installed a black Edelbrock air cleaner. The aluminum intake and carb are natural for contrast. It looks ok, but I have 2 black and silver small blocks in 2 different vehicles. I think I should've painted one orange.

Re: engine color !
My first vote would be orange, but I think a strong case could be made for red depending on the style of your build.

Re: engine color !
Chevy orange or cast iron gray with black accents.
A silver truck with a bright orange SBC looks pretty awesome. As for the gray/black, check out Bosshogg69's truck.

Re: engine color !
I remember when Chevrolet let the almost Ford Blue color dominate the smog motors of the 80's. I will not ever look back at that one again.
CHEVY ORANGE! Its been around for over 5 decades. |

Re: engine color !
Paint it black..... nothing worse than a little grease and grime on a orange engine.

Re: engine color !
Red to match the interior would be cool but you couldn't go wrong with black or a cast iron gray either. If you're like me, this kinda thing will keep you up at night. lol

 Block and heads black, intake is body color, but flat instead of gloss is what's in the first two pics. But that motor fell victim to the weight of my right foot. The third pic is what's in there now, black block & intake, heads left in natural aluminum, headers will be coated black too. I love silver and greys! But I do like Chevy orange too! A red engine with black or silver accents would look badass with your color combo.
