Engine Color Do’s and Donts

[280zdude]

So I know the engine is blue. 
 

is it better to keep the stock blue color.. for value? Collector wise or can I change it to black. 
 

i reallly don’t like the stock blue haha

I would say blue is better. Black is also a dead give away someone's been in the motor

As always - your car, your choices. If you plan to mod your car noticeably (flares, body kit, interior, ...etc.) then the engine color will make little difference. However, if you plan on keeping a stock appearance (you mention "value") then its best to stay consistent with the factory's version of stock.

I really like the OEM blue color the block, that with new brass freeze plugs make me happy.... that being said I personally used black, I was (am?) a poor college kid, and the $7 rattle can cant be beat.

I wonder if the blue stuff smells better......
