Subd for a nice build I know that's a new block but what color would that on the block be called for paint purposes

It's actually a used block, it was in a fire and rusted up, the machine shop got it that clean. How it cleaned up that good is a shock to me as well. But the color is just its natural gray iron finish

I can roll over a fully dressed engine with one hand. Had to special order the sprocket but it was worth it lol

Just curious what made you go with the billet pistons?
