Re: original paint y blocks
The '56 Meteors were that light green. Valve covers were black and air cleaner housing was gold/brass (?).

Re: original paint y blocks
Searched a few places on forum and hundreds of photos on whether the water pump was painted along with the block from the factory? I have 56 Country Sedan 312 and going with Seymour's Ford Red. I also see the front engine bracket was Ford Red as well. My 56 shows signs engine bracket was Ford Red along with the main generator bracket. Anyone have an actual picture of an original engine color scheme? I'm going in circles trying to determine what was factory.

The engines were painted with the water pump on and the bellhousing for a standard transmission too (but not the automatic bellhousings). |

Re: original paint y blocks
Correct. Complete engine assy shot red including front steady rest bracket.
Rocker covers black (w/decal-mania), accessory drives and brackets black and argent ACL. If PS, the reservoir was argent.
