Engine colour is a hot topic. When I rebuilt the 235 I6 in my 59 6 or 7 years ago it was painted blue.

Last winter the entire truck was restored and this time the engine was painted grey. Most think the grey is correct for the truck engine.

My boss at work is convinced that his dad's brand new 59 had a light green 235. Most people agree that a 261 would have been green.

Best of luck.
