flat head colour
My Mk1 motor is silver gray .It has been in the carrier for years but could have been changed during the war . The Mk11 is silver gray .It was rebuilt by REME .It has the army stamp riveted on the bell housing as to the over size bearings . I was told during the end of the war that Ford was running out of cured blocks so they took vehicle blocks and rebuilt them for the army . They would say ,It was good enough ,they are going to be blowing all to H anyway

well! I have said it before, but I will repeat. My father who made these carriers said they sent the engines in crates from Dagenham and they were all BLACK!!!!!!!!!! he knows as he was there!

That figures, as I got hold of a brand new sump fro a British V8 still in packing grease and with wartime army label, and that was Black.

Looks like we are back where we started, all sorts of colours! Does anyone one know the standard Dagenham engine colour before the war? I mean any engine, not only Flathead V8s.
Still leaves the Blue / Green 3.9L 24 stud issue open.....but not for my Loyd, the gearbox is already painted, and it is ford dark green, still wet at the moment.

Loyd 24 Stud Colour:
It's not dark enough to be Black. It's not light enough to be Grey. It isn't the same colour at the vehicle. That's why I decided on Ford Dark Green.
