Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
The 292's were painted green as well. Thanks for sharing!

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Using the sample paint on the flywheel is your most accurate match to '66 327 green, other parts of the engine has been exposed to high heat, weathering and bleaching out( due to engine degreasers etc). IMO, Ford green is the closest match for the 292 and 327 in a ready to use rattle can. But if found someone who can match color with high temp paint,great, go for it. Member Sodly has a super low mileage 327, which appears to be closer to Ford Green than the lighter Alpine Green ( aka Detroit Diesel Green). http://www.ebay.com/itm/VHT-Paint-Hi...693832&vxp=mtr

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
The flywheel is the part I left with them to match. They are going to put the enamel in some spray cans. I've heard the ford green is the closest but I figured since I have the parts I might as well get EXACT matched up

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Could you post a picture of the front end of each head after they are grease removed? I think I can just see it's there but the drivers side head could have like a "YH" in yellow grease pencil on the front of it indicating 327 turbo 400. Interestingly it may have something as Y_ as it also has the A.I.R. calif emission but no code appears to have ever been assigned in the GM books for that one. Cool to put that back on there when you have it all painted up again! Also were you able to see the codes on the firewall with assembly line grease pencil for the options like the turbo 400 tranny? My 327 turbo 400 donor parts truck had M49AG written just to the right of center upper firewall and before the drivers side washer hose cowl hole. Sometimes those marking are very faint but still readable in the right light.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Nice. Appears one of the line guys added his own version of YEAH too to the lower sides of the block.
This was my St. Louis built truck with 327 engine and PG markings as were on the heads. My 327 TH block was junk when I tore it down to rebuild.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
I was wondering what those letters between the YH were for haha. Sorry to hear the block wasn't any good.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Digging this back up, but I'm not optimistic considering the thread never got updated. Was curious what paint color/match ended up being used?

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
That's awesome! I went with Duplicolor alpine green for one of my builds. Mine seems just a tad lighter.

The last two engines I had have been black. I don't understand black. You can't see oil leaks as easy. I had kinda planned on doing chevy orange, but I like that green.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
That looks so good! I love seeing these small blocks in the factory colors other than the most popular engine orange.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Thanks guys! Yeah wasn't quite happy with the numbers when I put all the stock parts together so ended up going double hump heads, corvette intake manifold, roller rockers and roller lifters
![]() Since it was a custom paint mix I think it's just the company's codes on it, not a general code that would work anywhere. |

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
Dang it! Getting ready to paint mine soon & have been researching for the correct shade of green. I was about to just pull the trigger on late 60's Buick green, until I saw this thread about yours. Would love to duplicate what you have color-wise. There's another thread on factory correct restorations where the 327 engine color has been discussed, & I'm sure many folks that want originality could benefit greatly from your engine color.

Re: 66 C20 327, green original engine paint
They may seem like just numbers but to a paint shop they are not.
