My sister is restoring her 76 camaro that she purchased new in 76. The resto is just about complete and I saw a pic of the engine. They painted it orange and remember it as black. Inline 6 cly. Any help would be appreciated. I want her to have it correct.

Thanks
Jeff

 

it depends if shes going for oem finish or not. older chevys from all parts came orange, i dont recall when the engine color switched to black, but i know they turned blue later in the 2nd gen production run. i like orange on any year chevy engine up until the lt1's.
