Not sure about this and I am sure I will be corrected.

I read in last months fastford.
Red was the origional and then it changed to green when they were made to run on unleaded fuel, then it changed to blue latewr on when they were given re-programmable ECU's

This is probably complete cr@p so please don't nobody go shouting at me.

I've got a blue top engine rebuilt by Jondel Motorsport in my '94 escort, so does this mean mine is one of the reprogrammable ECU jobbies, or that was just the colour that the original engine had?????

Did any 4x4 sapphires have blue tops? I ask this because mine was built from a 4x4 sapphire donor car.
