You guys are so full of chit, I can't believe it. The 1965 Mustang had a black block with a gold air cleaner with a black snorkel. The valve covers were also gold., The oil cap was gold. and the dipstick handle was gold. Good grief, haven't you dunderheads learned nothing? This is straight from the MCA manual, and the same way I have my engine detailed. http://pic10.picturetrail.com/VOL326...6/30466273.jpg

The blue for the block, you have to mix it yourself. the ford blue is close , but it is to dark I think. It could but to light, But it is not the right color.

the 65 289 engine block, head,& intake manifold were originally black, valve covers & Air cleaner were Gold on 2bbl & 225hp 4 bbl engines. 66 went to all blue on same engines. Yes the 2bbl & 225hp 4bbl had heat risers from the exhaust manifold.
