1/2 ton status
So I aquired a 79 C25 GMC 3+3 and it has a 6.2 that was transplanted.
My question is the engine is a redish orange color. I never seen a 6.2 that wasnt black or blue and it looks to be original paint. Was this an original color? This is my 3rd 6.2 my first was an 86 k5 with a blue engine, and i have a 84 K20 with a black engine. Im assuming diff colors designate differnt versions?
The funny part is the 86 blue 6.2 and now this mystery year red/orange 6.2 are the only 2 i have ever seen that wasnt black. Most every other 6.2 i have seen in other peoples rides are black. Also this red/orange one has MORE power than my previous 2. but I know the 86 K5 had well over 250k on the ticker and the 83 has right at 200k. And this red one i have no idea the milage. Any other info on 6.2's is certainly welcome. By all means tell me tips and tricks for reliable power, and longevity.
Thanx in advance
