IF,the engine swap proves to be reliable, then, it will probably be H.O.C. metalflake silver w/multi candy red panel overlays (lowrider style)

I can't remember, do you have plans for the motor or are you running it stock?

It will just be a stock DD w/ headers & maybe a cam change for now.

My Dad did this with my old 85 Monte SS. His is basically a cruiser. Extremely mild cam with stock manifolds and he went down to a 3.23 rear. Gets great gas mileage and has a ton more power than the 305 ever did.
