going through 383 65 B engine
 
I recently bought a 65 fury that hasnt been driven scince 74. It has sat in a dark garage.

I just rebuilt the 2bl carter carb on the 383 and am going to go ahead and remove the intake and heads and replace the gaskets.

I want to keep the car stock.

what should i do to the head, i.e so it doesnt hurt to use unleaded gas, or porting etc.

where can I get that light teal engine color.

was the block painted as well or just the heads? my block may be just dirty?

anything else I should look out for?

You'll want to have hardened valve seats installed.

Bill Hirsch should have the turquoise paint for the motor. The entire motor should be painted.
