IML: 440 engine paint

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.
