Engine Painting
Short answer: Most of the engine is Pontiac Blue — block, heads, balancer, water pump, timing cover, intake manifold, oil-filter bracket, and tin (except chrome). Black goes on the pulleys, power-steering pump, accessory brackets, motor mounts, heater-hose bracket, and coil-mount bracket.
Use a high-temperature engine primer first — without it the engine paint peels off in sheets once the engine has run a while. Any store selling the correct PMD engine paint should carry the primer too.
