Thanks for the info...

You might want to research that engine color.If u r going for the correct engine color for that 56 ford. a friend of mine had one,it's been about 25 yrs,but his 56 had a black block with silver vavle covers and air cleaner.I think the engine dissplacement might also be a factor in the colors used.I don't think Ford used red though.

Ford used all sorts of colors....yellow for example on the 56 f100.....the 292 used red:
