1940-41-42?
1946-47-48?
1949-50-51?
According to the paints available in one of the Early Ford V-8 parts catalogs, it seems that green was the color until 1942. Is this correct?
I have the The Early Ford V-8 - As Henry Built It - The Production Facts Book 1932-1938 by DeAngelis and Francis, but the book does not go into detail about this aspect of the engine block color. They do say this: Cast pieces are engine block color; Stamped pieces are painted black; Aluminum pieces were left unpainted.
Mostly interested in the engine block color for 1937 and 1939 Ford Flathead.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
TonyM.
