All GM engines have been painted black since the late 70's to early 80's when GM car used the "corporate" engines and did away with brand specific motors and their unique colors.
I recall reading somewhere that the black paint helped with heat dissapation. But it was more likely that GM came up with a really cheap supply of paint.
