can't believe no one answered this one for you. i'll bump you back up and tell you i think the truck engines were red. if that's wrong, would someone jump in and correct it please. i'll see if i can do a search for you and find the right color. depending on car/truck, ford/merc and the year, it seems the flatties could have been bronze, tangerine, green, red and ?? good luck, dick r.

It said on the web site that you gave Julie 49 f1 engine would be dark blue or green 491/2 bronze or green. Also would the heads and intake be the same color as the block? Also what Green are they talken about? I would like to match it up as close as possible.

For your truck they were red. They did not mix colors. Block,heads intake,and oil pan were all same color. Car engines were the other colors.

They started mixing colors with the Y-blocks.
There is some dispute about the difference between the 226s being tangerine red, and the 239s being dark red (vermillion).
Here's a 239 painted Vermillion (it is a car engine and transmission btw)
The green is Krylon Green #2007.
Page through the links I posted there's lots of pictures of engine painted all different colors.

There's a color chart posted in one of them that has the paint code for Vermillion. Look it up!
I don't mean to be mean, but this question has been asked and answered 30 times in the past two years. Yeah we have the info. But, I have a choice: I can retype (spoon feed) the same information 30 times or cut and paste a link for you to read.
Yes transmission was black.
Here's the color codes for the rest you needed. It's all here. If we go to the trouble to post the info in a link for you, please, at least, try looking at it.
