    John, 1951 Hornet engines were painted gold as well as the 52's. Intakes were painted gold as well. But remember,this is YOUR car. You paid for it,your name is on the title. Paint the engine whatever color you desire. We can all throw in our own opinions but yours is really the only one that counts.

    The 1954 Hudson Hornet engines were the only ones that came RED from the factory. 1948 - 1953 232, 258,262 CID engines were all SILVER from the factory and the answer to the question: 1951 - 1953 Hornet engines were GOLD from the factory.

    ok, the engine id # indicates that my motor is a 51 but it is painted red, and it looks like it could be the original paint, but i guess it isnt. thanks guys. -john
