The color of the engines in the B19KC engine group was determined by
Ford. The Original engine ID tag would indicate if it was a 65 build
painted black or a 66 build painted blue. I believe your engine number puts
it well into the 66 build painted blue.
I have seen pictures of B19KC engines that appear to be much darker
than DE-1601 and I have seen pictures that the blue looks much lighter. I
do not have a clear determination of the original blue paint on the B19KC
engines.
It is your Tiger, paint the engine the color you like best.

The links to the Ford Engine Colors was excellent as well as the Mustang
Monthly article, thanks for that.

My
motor seems to be a hybrid of sorts. 6 bolt - 1965 or 1966 block with the
3/8" rod bolts, 1964 intake, 1963 Autolite 4100 600 CFM carb. Appears to be
289 HiPo configuration, screw in studs and spring seats in the head. The
transmission was a 1964 close ratio but has been changed to wide ratio 2,3,4
and counter with a new larger bearing retainer cover to fit the 8 bolt
alumiumn bell housing. 4 holes will have to be drilled and tapped to
accomodate the 1964 transmission case for the bell housing.
My best guess at
this point is the Old Ford Dark Blue - Duplicolor DE 1601 (According to
BON) based on MK 1 from ~ B382000601 to end.
My question is this: Do you paint
based on the year of the car or the year of the motor?
Thanks
