Re: Tri-5 Chevy engine color?
Not sure what you're asking, are you looking for ideas or asking who has done this to their shoebox? I've always liked seeing an engine in a strong contrasting color. Like a blood red engine in a black car, Hemi Orange in a SubLime green Mopar, stuff like that.I'm probably wrong

EDIT -- Here's some rules for concours judging tri five chevies --
ll 1955 V8 motors are CHEVY ORANGE with BLACK valve cover stencils. All 1956 V8 motors are CHEVY RED, with BLACK valve stencils. A few EARLY 1957 265 V8 engines (standard transmission ONLY) were painted chartreuse (lime green) by Chevrolet, and they had BLACK stencils on the valve covers. After about November 1956, all 265 engines were CHEVY ORANGE (as are the 283 motors), and the valve cover scripts were SILVER.That which you manifest is before you.
