Engine color?

[heavyhauler]

Hello everyone,

I have just picked up a 63 daytona from Idaho and am starting a restoration to get it running again. I was wondering what color the engine is supposed to be? Yellow valve covers but what else? Black block? What color water pump housing, pullys and stuff like that?

Thank you for any info!!

Black everything except fan and oil fill caps were reddish orange. Valve covers were yellow.

I use the darker reddish orange supplied by Simplicity
