Well, if you have the 455 block in there, it would be blue. But, i guess if you posted some pictures, VIN numbers, Cowl tags and etc. The folks on here will be able to help you out to see if it's an "actual" w-30 with the original 455 or 350 or whatever it came with.

That's a gold block alright (with a bit of blue overspray around the oil fill tube).
I can't tell from those angles whether it's a big or a small block, but maybe one of the experts can.
Check to see whether the number portion of the engine number on the pad indicated in the photo matches the number portion of your VIN.
