LOL! The engine is Graphite gray! It looks dark in the pics. A few other people said black too. If you look at the pics with the rocker arms - the intake has a pretty good hot spot on it. The block, front cover, and intake are all the same gray metallic.
Once the drivetrain is in I need to get it ready for dyno testing and tuning. I may be doing an intake shootout on my engine for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords mag.
Other plans are 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. I have 2-3 I'm trying to decide between. Coilovers at all 4 corners is on the future mods list, along with either Bear brakes track kit or SSBC kit. I also wanted to do a K-member while I had the motor out but as most of you know especially the married-with-kids guys - money is already prioritized for many other things before it can trickle down to the project car LOL!
