Color means nothing. It means the block is orange and the heads are blue. Since it's comin down, just take um off and lets see what you have.

Since this stuff ain't been made since 1979 or so, color don't mean nuthin. The Duke boys couldda painted it whatever they wanted. lol

Thanks guys.

Just wanted to say thanks guys for the really good read through out the thread. I myself am thinking about having my 383 HP 4bbl bored out to 426 at my local machine shop and building my motor from there. Wish to thank all of you for all the wonderful advise and knowledge posted here on this thread. Thanks, Roadbird.
