Would like some input engine color

[breakstuff]

I'm freshening up the 360 in my 65 Dart and the engine paint went to hell in the last seven years. I'm repainting it with what ever engine paint I have left over so red is out of the question. So what would you pick for a color?
1 Hemi orange
2 Corporate blue
3 Ford blue (and pray it wont cause oil leaks)
4 Chevy orange (So I can make excuses for when we lose a round)

You have a blank canvas then. The original color is red but I like Hemi orange.

 

[toolmanmike]

You have some serious tires on the rear. Mini tub?

Hemi Orange all the way Tim. I just picked up some to go on the 360 I got from you after I get it back together.

 

[ScampMike]

not a choice - but my2c... black :twisted:

 

[Mopar Tim]

I said corporate blue but I ment Chrysler blue, turquose like 65 383's

Race Hemi orange, it's a little brighter than street Hemi orange!

 

[grimreaper]

I'd have to spring for the couple of extra bucks and go red.

 

[ir3333]

put it back the way it was...red.
actually,it's your choice.

I was tempted to go red and pass it off as a 273 but the aluminum heads would be a dead give away that it's not. Plus I'm only putting money into go fast parts and using what I have as leftovers. If red paint and a type R sticker would drop a tenth by all means I'd do it

Mini tubed, springs in the frame rails with sliders. The Tires are M&H 28X13.5's. There is still room for wider.

 

[RogerRamRod]

how do you like the sliders? Do you run them on the street at all, or very much?

I really like them, I haven't had the car on the street yet but it hooks well at the track. I welded 1/4 inch plates to the bottom of the frame rails and tapped holes in the stock location and 1" further back. Incase I ever wanted to move the axle back for a taller tire. I'm using the speedway kit.

Chrysler blue :thumblef:

 

[Dartsun]

I'd go with Chrysler blue. Dustin

A can of paint is cheap


RED

but since that isn't an option HEMI ORANGE

But red would be better

Black would probably make it the best for a street strip car, suppose to disapate heat better

[paulscars]

i would just buff the old paint off down to the cast and clear coat it. there you go problem solved. from what i hear clear weighs less.

 

[breakstuff]

Hemi orange for the win! I thought about black but if I did sprout a leak somewhere it would be harder to find it.
