    Engine Block Color

    I am working on a "frame-off restoration of a 59, and just had the engine rebuilt. Can anyone tell me what the correct color is for the block, air cleaner cover, and valve covers?

    You don't say what engine you have! These are the 1959 colors, Macs, Jerry's classic cars and other vendors would have the correct shades of paint.
    The 292 Y block engine would be black engine block, red valve covers & air cleaner.
    The 332 FE engine would be black engine block, green valve covers & air cleaner.
    The 352 FE engine would be black engine block, blue valve & air cleaner.
