the engine should be blue in 72', wether it be a slant six or a 318 or a 340

Good to know as I'm just learning about these. It's been since 1971 since I had my last A body. Been GM for most of those years & just finished do a 66 Mustang.

As far as the engine, it's not so much the blue paint, it is applied on real sloppy.
