The green being sold now is a lighter IHC engine color. The original is a little darker but not a lot. Over time this shade of green darkens with the inevitable crud getting on it during service. The 52 & 53 engine can be green or tangerine. They used both. The later truck engines were also green. I think Ford Motor Company was starting to get away from using color to ID the engine displacement. New motors were starting to come on line.
