Default Re: Speedvision story on 67 Nickey Camaro

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.
************************************
Ok if nickey painted there 427 yellow
then i pulled a 1967 427 crete eng, from a nickey dump truck ??( did nickey paint the block or did it come from gm yellow)???

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.
