That baby blue looks good.

Is the engine color international harvester red?

No, Mopar Red from the Mopar rattle cans... I like the contrast that sets it off from the light blue paint...

Plus the stock 273's of that era were that color red, so I can pass it off as a 273 if I want to...

Mopar Performance Engine Paint

Plus I have Rhoades lifters in it... They bleed down at idle and pump up by 3500 RPM and they tick when it idles... It will sound just like a 273 with solid lifters...

The Rhoades lifters give smoother idle, better MPG, and higher vacuum on the low end, without sacrificing the top end performance of the cam at high RPM above 3500... It's like having an adjustable cam...
