Fordboy300 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Man that sure is pretty! It reminds me of when I rebuilt the 300 on my 86. Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machspeed Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Ford engine blue, enamel. Spray bomb or spray gun? Looks fantastic! Off topic slightly, but when I bought my truck, I was very disappointed to see a gray engine. If it ever comes out, and I know it's not technically correct, it will be painted in Ford Blue.

If it ever comes out, and I know it's not technically correct, it will be painted in Ford Blue. technically correct? 20 years ago when i rebuilt my 300 i looked at it like a tractor engine and painted it john deere yellow. i would never do that today. i have become more simple about these . i have a rule for this on my trucks now. fuel injected get ford gray and carb engines get ford blue. i prefer the traditional look even if the internals are modified. i do sometimes use the hei conversion some simply because it just plain works.

Painted with a spray gun, This engine was originally gray too. I was told back in the day that the gray engines were industrial engines, put in some pickups, but I haven't verified that yet.
