As far as I know, there is no code for engine paint, just a color description.

In 77 the color of all GM engines was changed to blue.  I believe it was called Corporate Blue.

As a matter of fact it does.  And it's the correct Chevrolet orange.  When I got it there was a little bit, but peeling and ugly.   Much better now.

For whatever it is worth there are also engines that are Painted Black. They are from Canada. I doubt any got into Vettes but a lot of them made it in Trucks that were also Built in Canada. I used to own one,a 89 3/4 ton. Richard...

Corporate blue went alway later.  Almost all of the newer ones are black.  The engine in my 89 is black.
