Re: Stock Engine Color of '55 T-bird
Actually good thing you checked back so soon. If you have a 55 you will have a 292.
312 didn't come out till 56. The 292 is a yellow - red color. Closer to red but not red.
It is very hard to tell those engins apart. The exhaust manifolds are differant on some.
The 292 will have a front cross over from manifold to manifold. The 312 will have no cross over. Yes the 312 was lime green. Had a little blue in it but mostly green. Very
strange color. It's been many years since i had a 312. hard to remember. I think the 312
had down swept exhaust manifold with rear exit. Every time you drove over water the
manifold would crack at the exit. i think the 292 had up swept manifolds with right rear
exit and left was center exit. I think.
