318 Poly
Hello All,
I have acquired a 318 Poly, as I could not find a 313. The motor is currently being rebuilt, with much guidance from Gary Pavlovich. I would like to know what color the engine should be painted. Does anyone know? I have also received quite a few offers on the 340 6 pack. Apparently it is highly prized.

Antique Chrysler green (it is a robin's egg blue-green). This is the same as Duplicolor Detroit Diesel Alpine Green, but I used Plastikote number 225 Alpine Green, and I was told that Krylon colour number 2007 is much the same. This colour was very popular for several engines by different manufacturers. Valve or Rocker covers are usually the same colour, but I have seen them black too.

Engine enamels made by a firm called PPR include a Chrysler blue I believe and are a first class product. Great glossy finish, spray or brush. I think they are a USA product, but appear to be distributed worldwide. About A$70 for 450-500ml.

Chrysler Blue is a completely different colour, and obviously blue. Whether you'd call the Chrysler Green/Alpine Green either blue or green seems to be a subjective thing, but robin's egg is what I would call it. It isn't Chrysler Blue though.
