Why did Chevy start painting engine blocks blue and what year did they start doing this?
1977. Don't know why. Ran out of orange I guess.:rofl:

Wasn't that about the time there was the big uproar when a few Chevy sedan owners found that GM had put some gold painted Olds engines in their cars, and then sued GM? It was my impression that GM then painted everything the same color and denoted them all as "corporate" engines.
My number is # 19??? - BLACK (82)However, halfway 82 they changed to black. A lot of sources claim it was 83 but it was in fact 82. Half way through the production run the CFI engines were black. Mine, # 23904 is a very late one and it was black.
