What colour/s should a Y block be painted?
My engine is a 1959 312.
I recently met a chap here in England with a 1954 Ford Club Coupe. The only other person I have met with a Y Block powered car.
It had covered only 8000 miles from new.
His engine was cream with red/orange rocker covers. Is this correct?
Picture taken in 1960. Funnily enough it still looks like this!
