someone school me on engine detailing on a 67 big block.....is the blue overspray at front of engine on the intake correct?
Yes, the overspray on the leading front edge of the intake is correct on a '67 GT500 428 engine. Ford painted the assembled 428 engines with the aluminum intake already installed and used a mask to cover the intake so it wouldn't get painted. The mask covered the intake, but not completely, causing overspray on the edge of intake
For the small block cars, Ford shipped the GT350 cars to SA with a std 289 HiPo assembly with the painted cast iron intake, which the aluminum intakes and carbs were later swapped out at SA.
