Got a short block (no heads) out of storage to rebuild the other day. While scraping off the crud, I discovered that it appears the original block color was GOLD. This is a 312 and had spin-on filter and '57-'58 type ball bearing dist. breaker plate. It has standard bore and crank so I don't believe it has ever been rebuilt and there are no traces of any other color on it. I've never seen one this color...Does anyone know what it came out of? THANKS
