Oh believe me everyone will complain about it too. I hear it all the time, "why'd you paint that motor ford blue?" I get various responses when I tell them it's GM blue and was factory for a 78. Most tell me I'm wrong an GM never painted anything blue just orange an black.....

Had a 79 C20 on the farm with a blue 350. It was original.
The color looked just like the 302 in my 1980 Ford LTD.
