289 block color?
 
I was wondering what color the FIA cars had their 289 Ford blocks painted? Was it for blue? or different?

Tongue Pirate,

Check with Rick Parker. He is in the process of finsishing his extremely correct FIA 289 car right now.

It would be black. Ford painted all blocks black in 1964

Kris,

When did they change to the blue block ? I have an original 1965 Comet with the original 289 and it is black. I have heard in mid 1965 and also not until 1966.

Thanks,

Ron

Any questions like this on small block Fords can be found in Bob Mannel's book about 62-69 Small Blocks. Contact Bob at
bobmannel@compuserve.com He doesn't have a web page.

If you have never seen this book, you're missing something. You won't be disappointed.
