I am restoring a 68 Cuda vert. It was built w/a /6 but I got it without a motor. I am trying to keep it as original as possible with a few exceptions. I did pick up a /6 with trans from a 68 Dart. What color should the motor be as it came from the factory in the cuda?

Red
# The smaller engines offered in the 1968 Barracuda were all painted red. These are the one available inline six-cylinder engine, the 225 cubic inch displacement Slant Six, and the 318 c.i.d. and 340 c.i.d. V-8s. This was the first year of production for the small-block 340, and many enthusiasts view it as the best total performance combination of both power and handling available in the Barracuda.

All the same color except the breather would be black for a stock color.
