Thread: Chevy 350 small block color

Tweet

Hey guys, for my birthday my dad surprised me with a old beat up 350 small block, it has been bored 40 over and needs new camshaft bearings. When I'm done rebuilding it I am going to paint it. I was thinking the block and heads blue, chrome valve covers, and the distributor and high rise intake red. (Everything else in chrome like belt wheels and alternator)
Does anyone else think this will look good?
If you have any other ideas tell me, I might like it.

kind of depends on what you are going to put it in .. several different colors over the years of small blocks ..hard to beat classic chevy orange though ...

I love contrasting primary colors!

Grab a paintbrush, and hit the tips of the bolts, the outside edge of the belts, etc.

Red on blue really looks sharp, and the chrome will contrast nicely.
