i Ford know to use ford green on basic engine; my question is on bolts, intake, exhaust, water pumps etc. what gets raven finish?? Exactly what components of engine & tran. are Ford Green??
 
Block, heads, and intake manifold green, water pumps green except the bare shaft. Transmission green, arms black. All bolt ons black except the exhaust manifolds, bare but not overly rusty. Face of starter unpainted. Temp senders natural, no teflon tape anywhere. Carb and rods natural, air cleaner and firewall pedal arm & spring black. Riser and cap black, pump natural. All bolts raven, not painted, except head nuts and studs, green.

I should have waited for Mike to answer, because I know he'll trip me up on something!

Edit: Mike reminds me that the block is painted before machining, which leaves those machined surfaces, studs and head nuts unpainted. Also, my term "natural" was misleading when applied to carb rods which are cad plated. Thanks, Mike!
