Default - Opinions on Engine Colour XW 351 -

Gday all, The young fella has is motor out for a stroker and has had the question asked " what colour do you want me to paint it? ". He was going to stick with all Ford Performance Blue and have the waterpump and timing case in silver but now is undecided. The car is lime frost and he is open to any ideas !! So any opinions and or photos will be great.

Thanks, Ray.

Dont worry about the colour of the motor
Just sell me the car and i will paint it later ..
Haha
Maybe Black and Chrome ..
Narr depends what you want to do with it
I like colour codeing my motors to the car
But then again i had a decent blue XD and i wanted
that clean look so the motor went white.

Ether way it will look nice
They allways do when cleaned up . .

Ford Performance Blue all over except for water pump (fit an alloy one), manifold (alloy again) and Ford Racing allloy rocker covers. Thats my choice anyway. At the end of the day, its his car and he should build it how he wants to.
