Engine Block / Heads Colour 4 Litre Cologne V6

[1972coronet]

I recently acquired an AMT 1995 Ranger kit , and am wondering what colour the block and heads are. 

I've seen grey ( rocker covers and oil pan at least ) and black ( same items ; mainly the Windsor series ) .

I realise that 97.32% of the engine is covered-up - I'm still wanting to paint it at least 84.02 % correctly.

I would try poking around the RangerStation.com website or another Ford Ranger enthusiast page.   According to their website, the Cologne was not offered after 1992. 1995 should be a Vulcan 3L. My educated guess is black block, heads and valve covers and aluminum for the intake. The pictures of a Cologne 2.9L look to be Ford engine Gray.

I  have to correct my post. The 4Lwas an improved derivative of the U.S. 2.9L version of the cologne.

I had a 94 Ranger engine was black and the oil pan was aluminum. Ford engines was grey Vvery late 80 and went black in 92 speaking from my fords..

Another reference idea is searching for videos on engine removal for whatever year/ engine combo you are building. they are a great source for detailing info.  From the two time-lapse videos I just watched it definitely appears that the block, heads, oil pan, and valve covers are black. And my '93 F=150 300 six is black too.
