I have seen it painted black as the engine block etc... and I have seen them not. Which is assembly line correct? I believe black, but I wasn't sure if SA changed the hose or not.
Thank you.
Painted with the engine, so black. Clamps were unique,
Thank you Charles that is what I thought. I received some whittek tower clamps in a box with the car and some were dated 4/64 and have a few that are 3/64. Can you post a picture of the correct one? Thank you.

Let's see if I can help out a little
Really need a side by side comparison of the heater hose clamp and the narrower bypass hose clamp to see the difference IMHO. The width is one of a couple of differences. There is a 67 related thread on the subject on this current site. Thought we did one for 65/66 section on this site also but maybe that was BC (
Before Crash).
Here is a side by side of the two that has been posted before and shared. Looks like Mr Gaines hand :)

Thermostat, upper radiator hose and clamp, bypass hose and clamp plus other items were reused from the engine that was originally dressed as a Mustang K code engine
The bypass hose clamp has a smaller nut and screw thread size also used on boss 429 but not FE.
The narrower clamp has a "2" stamped under the saddle whereas the wider one is stamped "10".
Thank you, I know a crazy amount of information was lost but help like this is what will make the new site even better.
