lift hooks

[1969grb]

From an original 69 big block

[69SSZL1]

I can see the remants of orange paint on the hooks. Can this be the case of the other "natural" hooks? the aluminum manifold throws off alot more heat then the cast iron ones. And the Chevy paint was not heat rated, went away fast.

The orange paint on the bracket appears to be spatter from when the engine was painted when new. At least that what it looks like to me.
