[Tigers] FW: Engine paint

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Ron,
I think I have neglected to send in the info that you've been  asking for.  
Could you forward to me the sheet that you want  filled  in on my very 
original
 (dark blue) MK 1A engine.

Due to the random order engines were installed into the Tiger body;
the Vin  # means little.  TBON information is a great starting point but not
a  precise starting point for engine color.

Ford controlled  the color engine blocks were painted.  Engine
assembly date code and  engine tag numbers are a better place to look to
determine the paint  color.

The engine tag will have 260 66 9; the assembly  date code will
indicate a fall of 1965 build code for engines painted  blue.

I'm always looking for more information about the  B19KC engine group
and all the Tiger Engine groups.  I have an  Original Tiger Engine Study 
work
sheet that's easy to fill out - just ask  and I will send one.

Alex / Tom;

Ron has done some pretty exhaustive  research on this subject; it has also
been discussed on this forum over the  years.  In addition, Norm Miller's
"TBON" also confirms the blue paint  on the engines of later-production
Tigers.  I don't have my copy in  front of me so I can't quote serial 
numbers
at to when this started, but  I'm sure Ron can...and off the top of his 
head,
to boot...

Take it  away, Ron,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
