Rebuilding the motor ( 1592 cc ) on my 73 spyder and would like to know the factory colour of the block and head.

Thanks for the information. My engine had been boiled and rebuilt years ago and left in bare metal.

Yep, just finished degreasing the front of my 80 and discovered under the muck that the block is light grey, just a little lighter than a battleship grey.

A close color (colour) match is Ford engine gray (grey). "Duplicolor" is a popular brand in the States (colonies).
