The operative words there are " is blue"
One cannot draw inference with the way a Comp car looks today, 45 years later. 
Photos of the original engine in 3002 shows a black block, which fits the timeline.

Comp cars were regularly torn down and repainted each season. 3002 had quite a few re-do's in it's early years...none of which bothered much with preserving "originality"
