IML: 440 engine paint

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone have info on the blue paint used for the 440 in 1972? I would like to 
repaint my heads, timing cover, manifold, etc. and am wondering if there are 
any high heat paints readily available that are a close match. On teardown I 
found a piece of the #4 cam bearing missing which I had found in the pan a 
while ago. I believe this is causing some of my oil pressure problems as 
with new mains and rods and new pump with black oil pressure spring I get 
around 50-55 psi  at highway speeds but still drop to about 10-15 psi at 
idle.Also found one of the head frost plugs to be leaking which explained 
another small problem. I got the drivers side exhaust manfold off by 
removing left and right engine mount bolts, jacking the engine a few inches 
and then rocking it slightly to the right which gave me the clearance to 
slide the manifold off of the rear studs. Getting close to reassembly.
