well there you go! Black Green and Grey seem to be the colours that mostly come up so I will have a think and chose what I think will look best. I rather like the Grey but there again, Hanno's point about heat dissipation with black is a good one. I know my father wants it black as that is what he recalls V8s being in the Universals that he made so maybe he gets his way! thx

That was the colour I suggested at the start of the thread.... I don't think anybody believed me!
 Just glad I wasn't imagining it!

I see that the POR 300 range, a US paint, do a Ford Medium blue and a Ford Dark Blue. Its tricky to see from the screen what the colour is exactly but as long as its not the Ford Corporate Emblem blue, I dont think it is, then this could be the colour. Anyone had any experience of it?
Oh and by the way, My father said that every engine that he saw fitted to the Sentinel made Universals came from Dagenham and was mated to the gearbox. They were both black and all they did was put it on a jig and run them to set up or check the carburettor settings and then they were fitted. I appreciate that these were UK built non Mercury engines, but it may be of interest.
