The truth is, if you're putting a 302 into a 64 1/2, then it really doesn't matter what color because it can't be correct anyway. Make it what pleases you. Ford blue always seems nice to me. Of course, you can make an original 289 into a 302 with just a crank and piston change with nobody the wiser.

OK, I looked it up in a book HOW TO RESTORE YOUR MUSTANG. It says:
1965 260 - black block and heads, medium blue valve covers, medium blue air cleaner 1965 289 - black block and heads, gold valve covers, gold air cleaner with black snout Hope this helps. Rev ------------------ '66 Coupe, 306, 300 HP, C-4, 13.97 e.t., 100.3 mph 1/4 mi. |

Ford considered them all '65's. So i think the correct colors are the same.
