68 Race Hemi Cross Ram Color

Years ago I bought a can of "race hemi" orange from a Mopar dealership. It was special order but the can was labeled Mopar & "race Hemi" orange. Don't know how or where the parts guy got it, but it apparently is out there. As for the Ford blue Hemi---- according to the book on Sox & Martin, Jake King painted all his engines that color for some reason. Now if you don't care about period correct or rest-correct there's been some articles citing a black motor as somewhat beneficial in that it helps dissipate heat from the block. I've painted my race motors black for years & never experienced an overheating issue, so I'm guessing there's some truth to it
