I painted the 259 that was in the Saturday Night Special racing green. I don't think it was very well accepted LOL. I really like the R3 Red engines. SO, the new R1 that's going in it now will be RED. Can I get forgiveness? LOL BTW, what color red are the R3's I have seen?

(But please, stay away from R4 BLUE!!!!)

I guess that's one thing Ed (SN 60) will approve of, concerning the junk Packard motor in 56Js. At least they are RED. The shade is real similar to Farmall tractors. I just painted a set of 56J heads today and used POR-15's, "Chevy Red" (not Chevy orange) engine paint, and it looked dead on.
I agree, all the R motors shoulda been red too, but 56J did it first

The R3's are Red, red! I think the R Series Engines with all their Chrome and all, would look very good in Red.
