Im sorry but i cant have my car engine to be gold and black. Its not like it will be a show car just my first car. and if i ever sell it if someone doesnt want to buy it because of engine paint then that is just sad.

"As in 1964-'65, Ford continued to paint the valve covers separate from the engines. Engine long-blocks, which included block, intake manifold, heads, and oil pan, were all painted Ford Blue, a darker blue that covered all hardware except the valve-cover bolts. Valve covers were installed toward the end of engine assembly using natural metal bolts with integral lock washers. We've learned through observation and conversation with restorers that Duplicolor's Dark Ford Blue (1606) is an accepted color for '66 and later Ford engine restorations. An alternative, when Duplicolor isn't available, is Krylon's Dark Ford Blue, which is also the correct shade of dark blue. Plastikote is another paint brand, Royal Blue (1134) an acceptable color for '66 and later."

"[in 1967] Ford Blue was again a mainstay for all Ford engines, including the base 200ci six, the base 289-2V small-block V-8, and the 225-horse 289-4V engine with a new carburetor design--the Autolite 4300."

I see no ford corporate blue. I think I'll just go with the "Ford Blue" from POR.

p.s. I think gold and black can look awesome.

Gold and black isn't my first choice and I am partial to blue but I really want to keep this car as stock as I can.

So gold and black it is!!!

At first I didnt really care about keeping it stock, but the more I think about it, the more I want to restore it to be as original as possible.

Im concearned though about how restrictive the stock air cleaner is with the snorkle as opposed to a completely open air cleaner. Any ideas?

Im not sure, but ill make my car stock looking when im older but for now i dont have the money for some parts like a 4100 carb.
The stock air filter cost like $150
