landman Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Question for Them that Know. I'm about to build this engine. My web surfing seems to show it as black rather than Ford blue. Which is correct or does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The block in a "factory" Thunderbolt would be black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don't recall the exact year that Ford went with the black engine color. The main appearance difference in appearance on the big block Fords had to do with the valve cover and air filter colors. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
