I realize this is a small block post. I have two day one COPO Chevelle engine pictures and the lift hooks are silver on both. Doesn't prove or disprove anything. Just a little added info. I don't recall the Oshawa workers installing the lift hooks. From what I remember, they were on the engines when they came from the engine plants.
