I painted mine FORD RED, as seen on the Ford Racing Catalogue. See my gallery for a picture of my engine.

My car came originally with a 428 PI engine painted Ford Blue, that included the aluminum intake and aluminum cam cover. It also had the chrome valvecovers with the Ford 427 emblems.

The problem with black
The only thing I do not like about black blocks is you have a heck of a time seing where things are seeping, crying and leaking.

I used yellow. Check my pics in the gallery. Everytime I try to attach one, I fork it all up.

the 428 PI in my original 1966 "427" Cobra, CSX 3288, is Ford Blue. The engine has never been touched (and it shows!). but its original!
