I had a engine built by a speedshop and he paints all his blocks "gunship grey" unless you insist otherwise. I asked his why. He showed me a couple examples of different colors with oil leaking on them. Grey stuck out like crazy. He said " do you want to know where it's leaking or not? My engine is grey

I can confirm… my 32 is grey and manages to look clean but easily spot any issues (can a leaky valve cover once )

Glad you painted the block back. After seeing 69 years of orange blocks (1955-present) I’m tired of seeing them orange in anything other than a restoration. At 78 years-old black is my favorite color and my 2nd Gen LT4 is black, and my LS3, LSA, and LS7 engine blocks are all natural aluminum, of course. Good thing you tore the engine down and checked everything. I have seen a crate engine direct from Chevrolet Performance Parts come with a missing main bearing and another engine had some loose rod bolts, not sure how those things could happen. Good luck with your project - I enjoy your videos.

My grandma drove a 37 chevy coupe with a 350 out of a 69 Corvette and a custom race trans my uncle built in the 80s. She would drop me of the preschool and i remember the sound of the rubber as she would blast out of the preschool parking lot to her hospital job, the sound of the engine lasted so long i thought the whole town could hear. But the engine was orange. That looks amazing i love when people put effort into their own twist. This stuff has been done over and over again why not make it different?
