Engine color for 72 F100?

I am getting ready to paint the rebuilt engine for my 72 F100 and have seen two different color Ford blues. Which is correct the light or darker blue.

Thanks,
Bob

Wow, ready for paint already! It should be the darker or "corporate" blue. I never did like the light blue anyway.

Hi Barry,

I have the short block just about done and getting ready to put the pan on. I going to paint it in stages so I can keep my son interested. He's been waiting to paint.
