Henry Ford: "Any man can have a car any color he wants. As long as its black"

I know we're talking about the motor not the whole car/truck- mine (SOHC) is black from the factory. I'd paint it black.

I like the dark Ford blue, that is what I am going to paint my 289.

Black looks good until you are trying to track down a leak...
