I'm sure the manifolds were on it when painted. I don't think the breather cap was painted, so it would be semi gloss black. krylon is very close, unless you think you need a 2 part paint.
I say using krylon with good prep and primer is 10 or more times better than what the factory used.
235's in trucks were mostly grey, maybe a different plant used blue don't know. They were build all over the us so it could be a use what you have deal I don't know. I don't think all the bellhousings on V8's were painted. I do think the 6's were.
If you had a truck that had a dealer replaced engine for some reason, it could be built up from part off the original or with new off the shelf parts, then you would have a mix match of parts colors, like black oil pan, damper etc. I don't think its too far off stock doing that sort of thing it looks nice too.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
