Engine color: history vs. good looks

I hope this is the right place for this post:

I have a '71 C-10 with a 350. The heads are orange, but the block is blue. I think this means that the heads are likely original to the truck, but the block (short block?) was replaced later on by a previous owner.

What is the best engine color choice:
1.) all orange, restoring the original factory color, but losing the engine history
2.) any other color of choice, since it's the engine is a "mutt" anyway?
