[Tigers] Engine paint

[Ron Fraser]

Alex
	You are correct, mostly.  All 260 engine blocks were painted
Semi-Gloss Black according to Bob Mannel's Book.

	The problem is that the B19KC engine group spans into the 1966 Ford
Model year; Aug 1965.  Ford changed to blue for the 1966 Model year.  Ford
dropped the 260 engine for the 1965 Model year, Aug 1964, but kept building
260 engines for Rootes until the fall of 1965.

I seem to recall that all the Sunbeam Tiger 260 engines were black...  
Am I wrong on this?
