68 140 engine questions.
Putting my K301 engine back together and have a couple of questions. I know the motor is green on the 68, but what about the head? Leave silver or paint ? Mine is currently silver. What about the engine lift eye? I cut, drilled and contoured one out of 1" angle iron. Should it color match the head?
