My old one was painted that torquise colour, shame about the hash up they made of fitting a cylinder head though, they totally took the piss over that one

That engine was buiilt from a new 200 block, low comp pistons, ported cylinder head, T34.48, 803's and made just under 360hp, a switch to greys or light blues and a .63 exhaust housing can see 400hp on a YB and is quite a popular setup by tuners

As said they normally paint the block blue



Wouldn't go just off that though as its not a hard paint to get.
