Hi, To be "correct" your block, heads, intake, and water pumps should be the Ford dark blue engine paint available from your favorite parts supplier in aerosol spray cans or in quarts for brushing (the last one is a Bill Hirsch product). I believe the head nuts should be cadmium plated, the oil pan, generator, starter, spark plug conduits, and air cleaner should be black. You can get a nice restoration manual for your car from the Early Ford V8 Club that will provide you with all of the correct details for your engine and its compartment. Hope this helps and good luck with your project. Best wishes, Toby
