Default Painting Engine Block
Painting a 1973 engine block: What color is it? Chevy orange or Chevy orange-red. Is the water pump the same color as the engine block?

For 73 it should be motor color. The aluminum manifolds, 70-72 LT1s were silver in color to match the intake.

That was a replacement. Not sure the original was so corroded it had holes thru it. I opted to paint it to avoid the reoccurance
