What is the correct engine paint for 71 Boss 351

[19k40rocky]

Hi,
I got my engine in the machine shop currently and the builder was asking which Ford blue to use on the block. Light Ford Blue or Dark Ford Blue. My memory was that it seemed dark blue back in the day, but its been a few years and I am wanting to make sure I get it right. I would appreciate help on this when ya get a moment. Thanks a bunch!

Dark Ford blue is correct, but there are many variations. NPD has rattle cans of the correct PPG 13358 color code.
