Don't matter if it's a small block. That's a sexy 350 right there. The "teal" motor the one I built over the course of two years (7.25hr sucked) and had in my Regal. The red one is a rare 1970 SP Buick 350 that's going in while the "teal" motor awaits TA's new Aluminum heads next year.

Also had a 429 Thunderjet in my Thunderbird I had a few years back.

I'm liking the color of that real one! I didn't think I would like the Chevy Orange but my mechanic sorta did his own thing lol..but with the chrome headers I think it'll be just right! Now im just ready to hear her run

Thanks. I was trying to go for that pale kinda OEM GM blue color, but it ended up looking more teal-ish. I'm happy with how it turned out, and will be repainting it the same color when I rebuild that one with the AL heads. Your 350 on the other hand will look great in your GP. All you gotta do is freshen up the engine compartment. Ain't nothing more embarrassing than popping the hood and having a nasty engine bay. I used satin black for my bay. The only thing that could improve upon your sbc, IMO, is a set of M/T valve covers. I just like the look of em. I wish they made some with the Buick bolt pattern. But your motor looks cool as is.

Yeah I'm sure I'll be cleaning up The engine bay. Hopefully the mechanic does if not I'll probably be covering stuff in plastic when i get home and doing what I can to pruce it up..new covers and air filter will be going on when i get my hands on it

standard krylon engine paint... thinking it was ford blue, because it matched the interior and the landau top that it used to have when I bought it.
