I'm about to have a factory 7X engine painted and installed in a 52 Hornet Coupe. I know that these engines could be painted various colors by the installing dealer. Since it is going into a 52, I am having it painted gold.

What colors where things like the pulley's, intake manifold and 7X header painted? Niels

    I think the harmonic balancer was engine color. At least all engines I ever saw were that way. Then again, it's kinda hard to see down there.

    That could be. This is like the debate over whether the thermostat/upper radiator hose housings were originally black or gold, although factory photos show them as being much darker than the block and obviously black.
