I thought I read recently in Clausager's "Original MGB" that late
model MGB engines were painted all black. It was the early engines
that were maroon, though I don't know the model year this changed.
I'll check my copy tonight.
Hope this helps.

First off:
I'm detailing my engine and wonder what color paint the
head on a late MGB (79 or 80) should be. The block is
painted red, so I assumed the head originally was as well.
The remanufactured head I just bought is painted black.
My local shop had a sample B engine mounted on a stand, and
the head on it is red. Anybody know?
