The best color for the Trans would be silver, clean the ALUM body really good . Then lightly spray the trans ( all you want to do is like stain it just change the color it OK to have a little bit of the ALUM show like speckles) hold the can back a bit.
Now for the motor SBC was orange from start to 1977 , made in Canada to stay in Canada was more of a Red/ Orange Dark.
SBC after 77 was Blue. till 83/84 then black
BBC were Orange till 1976 then Blue in 77, I do not remember when the BBC changed to black for sure.
I always like the orange color for the 1976 & older SBC's

Pontiac1976 is correct. I also prefer all my engines regardless of the year painted orange. To me nothing spells Chevy like the engine orange color. Black would also look good on the tranny or even the body color of the vehicle but I prefer the alum. look myself.
