Fellow Chrysler enthusiasts,

Does anyone know the stock color for a 55 300 engine?
Is it silver?
any specific code?

Thanks,
Mike

I think you are talking about a C-300, the photo below shows a restored example. The C-300 was only offered with the 331cid/300hp engine. Most other Chrysler engines of that year were monotone silver, or as some call it "Mopar Aluminum Silver" I do not know of an exact replacement but POR makes a silver engine paint that is very close to the original. Block, heads, pan and intake are silver on the C-300. www.eastwood.com/paints/hi-temp-engine-paints.html

Here is the 301 poly engine used on other Chrysler models. An L-6 flat head was also offered, also in monotone silver.
