Engine Color

Hey everyone,

I have a 70 F100 with a 240 inline 6. I don't think it's a 300 but it may be.

Anyway, it's orange and not the traditional Ford blues... Are there orange Ford motors? I've seen red and black motors but not orange.. Shouldn't it be blue?

Thanks for your time

I don't recall orange Ford engines but red was used on the valve cover of early six cylinder Mustangs.

I suggest Ford Blue. Here's the mighty-mighty 200 in my 68 'Stang:

It can be whatever color you want! Me personally; I'm worn out on the blue. It just depends on the color of the vehicle. I think black or the ford gray looks the best. But hey! if you want to be like everyone else, have at it.
