On engine colour - saw a 1972 RSA Valiant Regal Today - aka Dodge Dart ~70?

Very good nick very original - and oily - the engine is Red - I had a look underneath after a presure wash - you can see it has worked but has not been abused -

The elderly owner assured me the engine has never been out of the car - and I saw no evidence to disprove this - the engine mounts are very aged- no over spray - the paint is worn away here and there and nothing but rust underneath

Saw a couple of red blocks - one yellow one from a D100, and the Orange ones in the Hipo machines and oh yes turquoise in the stock units.

Just say I own a few Mopars

If I may pick your brain just a bit more, good sir...
How would I go about telling the difference? Is the number stamped into the block somewhere, or is/are there some easily identifiable characteristic(s) that make it easy to tell? If it's already been posted elsewhere, I apologize, but I didn't find it.
Good point, though I can say with a fair bit of confidence that this is factory paint. This block has never been assembled; it's essentially NOS.

My '82 Plymouth Gran Fury /6 is black.

Early in this thread someone suggested not to paint it brown. Why not? I think any color on a SL6 would be cool. There's a purple one in the threads, maybe it is plum, anyway it looks awesome. Pink? Why not? Especially cool are vivid colors when it's a strong and/or unique build. I say go for it!!
