paint codes and 1600 vs 1300

[Stop!TinaTime!]

Hi Guys,

I've had to give up the japanese engine idea. I'm now looking at injecting and turboing a 1600 or 1300. A 1300 has shorter stroke and I imagine would rev harder. Is it worth sacrificing some capacity for a shorter stroke? I will be hunting for a strong block and making it as bulletproof as possible. Also I'm having trouble finding my what my cars original colour was. Code on the ID tag is 59YBG2. It is currently a light blue, And on parts of the car looks original. It is a 1965 Mk1 Cortina Super.

Cheers
