The engine color ia a rather bright medium blue. It is the color used on all 1954-62 passenger car engines. Painted blue is the block, head, manifolds, balancer, flywheel housing if a stick, oil pan,valve cover, water pump and all bolts that hold these parts on as well as the top fan belt adjusting bracket. Black would be for the starter, generator, distributor,coil, fan, generator to block bracket,fan pulley, oil breather,.
