Ron,
I think I have neglected to send in the info that you've been asking for.
Could you forward to me the sheet that you want filled in on my very
original
(dark blue) MK 1A engine.

Due to the random order engines were installed into the Tiger body;
the Vin # means little. TBON information is a great starting point but not
a precise starting point for engine color.
Ford controlled the color engine blocks were painted. Engine
assembly date code and engine tag numbers are a better place to look to
determine the paint color.
The engine tag will have 260 66 9; the assembly date code will
indicate a fall of 1965 build code for engines painted blue.
I'm always looking for more information about the B19KC engine group
and all the Tiger Engine groups. I have an Original Tiger Engine Study
work
sheet that's easy to fill out - just ask and I will send one.

Alex / Tom;
Ron has done some pretty exhaustive research on this subject; it has also
been discussed on this forum over the years. In addition, Norm Miller's
"TBON" also confirms the blue paint on the engines of later-production
Tigers. I don't have my copy in front of me so I can't quote serial
numbers
at to when this started, but I'm sure Ron can...and off the top of his
head,
to boot...
Take it away, Ron,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
