So this may be a simple stupid question but I would like an answer still. I have a 1971 chevy 250 in a Nova. It's the original numbers matching engine, in the original chevy orange (it's pretty rough). The thing that throws me off is the head is clearly painted blue, which means it's more then likely not the original head which is fine but why would it be blue? I am thinking possibly a head off a marine block since I believe those were blue. Any help would be appreciated.
