Jeff, looking at your engine I'm noticing what is and isn't painted blue. What do you think was the factory correct situation? For example the water pump? The bolts holding the accessory block etc? In other words how complete was the engine when they painted it and what parts were painted before assembly.
I know we've talked before about this but the one I keep seeing on 68-69 is virgin engines only show black paint on the oil fill tubes. Also would the exhaust manifold have been painted? If not that means the intake would have either been painted blue ahead of assembly or not painted blue?
