PHPaul Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 My next project (after I finish up detail work on a couple on the bench) is a '57 Ford Fairlane I was gifted. I intend to build it stock as a tribute to a black and yellow '57 one of my older brothers had when I was a kid. Not a Ford guy. What color would the engine be for this application?
espo Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Ford was painting their Y-Blocks of that era a medium Red with Black Valve Covers. The '54 introductory year Y-Block was a Yellow/Beige colored block.
