According to Lopez Nickey painted their engines yellow. Lopez has heard oil leaks were easier to see against this light color, as opposed to Chevrolet orange. The yellow blocks became a Nickey trademark.

This original 427 crate eng, was painted yellow from gm in the crate in 1967. I pulled it from a dump truck 15 yr ago.
