    That's pretty! It will soon have that unique mixture of oil, mud and more oil covering it.

    For the OP:

    Dupli-Color Ceramic Engine Enamel: Detriot Diesel Alpine Green -DE1618

    I just ordered a pint of that Austin Healey Green for my rebuild Great Color.. .. I can only hope it will look that good... Does anyone know if that block paint brushed or sprayed on?

    For those who need or want to brush apply,try POR-15 Buick Green engine enamel. It's not a perfect alpine green match, but pretty close. Also it goes over POR-15 rust paint.

    2.25 3 main bearings are BLUE as in BSC Sky Blue commonly often referred to as Duck Egg Blue. There is no green tint in that British Standard Color.
