John,

I'll double check this when I find the book, but as I recall the engine block and pan are low-gloss black and the valve cover is Ford red.

What you going to do with the 170 motor? Coffee table? Buy that white falcon and put it in there? :BIRTHDAY:

I am going to mock it up and put it in my museum, but now I can't seem to locate the dist,carb,or the old water pump...guess I'am not off to a very good start....ps, I did find the pan.:rocker:

Here's one of the best lists I've found so far if you're trying to get something to look stock:
