ive found a website that has a the red top beams and a black top beams for sale and they are both the same price. i was just wondering if there was a horse power difference or any other difference that i need to be aware of. im going to assume that the black top is more rare than a red top cause all ive ever seen is the red top. also they look the same in the picture but the black top just has a black valve cover and a silver intake manifold. any help would be nice. thanks

it has been mentioned before,

The color of the valve cover is NOT a good way to tell what type of engine it is. The reason is because, the grey top/redtop valve covers can be swaped around easily.

So what your asking is: does the grey paint on the 3sge engine give it more horsepower then the red paint on the 3sge beams engine?

here is a picture of a REAL black top.
