Duke:
You are correct about the early Tigers' engines being satin black. It
is my understanding that the engines
were purchased from Ford in two batches (260's, that is). The early
ones were black and the later ones
were Old Ford Blue. When the changeover took place, I do not know,
but someone with access to BON
might be able to come up with that. My Tiger is a late MkIA and the
engine (and transmission) were OFB.
I learned the hard way that OFB is not the same color as the blue used
for the '66 model year by the
Ford factory when the guy I had doing the body work on my car did me
the "favor" of painting my engine.
The robin egg blue (or whatever it is called) is not the correct
engine color.
