Counting the ones I have now, I've had somewhere around 20 including a new one in 71, 74 and 77. The head, valve cover, intake, exhaust manifolds and oil pan were all painted to match the block, otherwise those cast iron and steel parts would have rusted immediately. Granted, the paint did not last too long on some off those parts. The original paint on the oil pans always seemed to flake off after a few years.
