Show me your engine colour

[Martin]

Gentlemen,

There seems to be a lot of different blues out there. I was just wondering what shade others on the forum have gone for.
I'm replicating loosely a 68/69 car and so a blue block rather than a black one is probably what I'll choose.
Please post photos of your engine block..Even the black ones, as I'm not totally sold yet.

Thanks,

Martin

It's hard to see the color once it is in the car:

Martin, as far as I know there are 2 shades of the Ford blue. Ford Corporate Blue, which is a dark blue and is the one I believe that is period correct (besides black). The other is the lighter blue. Someone else may have exact info.

Great photos, thanks,
What is the consensus on cyclinder heads ? Painted the same colour as the block, black, bare aluminium (if ali heads) ?
