Correct Color for 1957 Corvette Engine Red or Orange
Getting conflicting answers to the color of the 1957 Corvette engine. The one I had was red but I'm being told it should be orange.

A recent post on the NCRS Forum (yours?) says Chevrolet orange. The 56 blocks were red.

Thanks for the response. The real question would be since the block has a casting date from 1956 J56 but it is for a 1957 Vette. So my question was the color was for a 1957 Corvette with the correct 1956 casting date block.
So are you saying any block with a 1956 date was red or any engine assembled for a 1956 block is red and any block assembled for a 1957 Vette is Orange.
