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
