Didn't anybody tell you that green is bad luck!!!

She's a beauty though!!!

Nothing looks better than a dressed up small block chevy - period!!!

yeah this one dude told me that green race motors are bad luck, but so far im proving him wrong cause it still pullin hard, and from a dead stop i can floor it with my P275/60R15 rear tires and it smokes em, even after like a 20second burnout that chews a hole in the road lmao

 

You been in the garage too long Ron!

I can think of a good number of undressed ladies that I'll take over the smallblock, anyday

 

Didn't your mom ever tell you that taking undressed ladies over a smallblock is un-gentlemanly? :sillylol:

Seriously though, nice motor. Green is a bit too eye-watering for my (rather boring) tastes, but I'd take that green over the brown-and-black-sludge look of my motor any day. Which, by the way, is coming along well. I have both heads off, and they're being machine shopped to the max as I type this. Hooray!!

Si

 

I guess I do spend to much time with my 350 sometimes My old lady says the same damn thing you guy say...



BTW: 'nagga' my motor started out grabber green, and some racing friends of mine accualy bought me the yellow paint.
They nicked named the color school bus yellow




Ron

 

That green is deifinitley something different?? What color is the car??

Nice motor.....

 

sweet!!!

 

One time I was helping my friend get his 79 camaro started up for the first time with his newly installed built-up 355ci and I noticed the block was painted bright yellow. I said something like "whats a matter with you!? yellow? Why not orange or black? I dont think the motor likes you painting it yellow." Engine fires right up and we do the break-in, time it, and get all the leaks fixed. Everything was running PERFECT. After about an hour of run-time he takes it down the road, gets 10 miles, and BAMM!B!B!MABAM! rod bolt lets loose and ruins the entire motor.

WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS PAINTED YELLOW! I SWEAR.

 

I like that color green too. I used it on a 327 about a year ago in my 89 z. Hot rod green

 

What cops some time.........What color is the lighter of all the people that get arrested.......I rest my case......

 

What’s sad, is I never took the green off. So it's primed with green, with about 3 coats of yellow on top.

Soooo maybe the green is keeping the rod bolts from flying off

I don't know about 'nagga' but my car is black on gray.
With the gray coming through.

This car is financially kicking my ***...Racecars are not cheap to build, but are fun to drive

Ron

 

very nice. green is my favorite color. i was thinking of painting my motor that color someday.
