Well, just about done with all the machine work on the block...






And now it's time to think about what color to do it this time.

Before you guys go crazy it will be BLUE, but what shade?

The original motor was a dark ford blue and I liked that one. The motor we built at Koffel's was an AMC big bad blue. I was trying to match the color of the car with that one and it wasn't quit right.

So, what do ya think.........

Which blue should I go with this time? single choice
	Petty Blue to match the car
	AMC big bad blue
	Original dark ford blue
	Chrysler engine blue
	A vibant blue similar to mid 90's Ram trucks

You may like blue but I'm not sure that is your "lucky" color for an engine


I think pink would be a nice touch





Russ

I say mopar blue.You painted it Ford and Amc blue and look what happened

....orange chevy orange ....


me bad !


GOOD LUCK

with all the luck you have with blue i would think about changing colors. i would go black if it was me. good luck with the new build. i hope it stays together this time.

i agree BLACK

I paint my race motors grey - learned from Penske TransAm motors that it makes it easy to see things - but the smog-era Chrysler blue would be a nice contrast to your car.

I need a color swatch





Didn't know things were so far along

Jake always paint the Ford blue . I think his motors ran ok .

I agree with Wes. Black

Bill paint it what YOU want... I put Petty blue only
because you like it.... I paint them either black or
orange... I might paint the next one red to match the car

i voted Petty blue also.
And i agree paint it the one that you like, you have to look at it.

I am going through the same thing in my car,
my new motor is very nice HEMI oarnge, but my car is blue.

Bill where is the motor being built? Did you ever figure out exactly what caused the other engine failures? Was it just a rod failure?
Good luck with it. I would paint it Hemi orange for sure if it was my car.

Building this one at Koffel's just as with the others.

Rod failure is the most likly cuase but to this date still no smoking gun.

I have no issues with the Orange paint, the 72's motor is orange.

It's just not me (I know, Big shock)

Pretty sure if I did it in any other color at this point someone would call those silly men in the white coats to pay me a visit.

Each coice has it's appeal to me hence the poll.

Kinda like trying to decide betweena a Root beer float, a banna split, or a hot fudge sunday.

Hot Fudge Sunday here..


Chris..

I'd go chrysler blue or hot fudge... there's only one blue I'd paint a mopar block

Every single big block I've ever done was painted Chrysler red, and they've all done me well, so thats the only choice for me. I did my small block in the smog era mopar blue, and it came out great..it's in a white car with blue interior.

just dont use the same color you have been using is my vote! good luck this time bill

hot day....rootbeer float..

then on to the banana split with Xtra HOTFUDGE...

paint it Pontiac blue and let em all figure it out...

BLACK
