Default 500HP Mercruiser "blue engine" Block painted blue?

Is the block painted blue too or just the manifold, valve covers, power steering pump and pullies? The boat im looking at has a black engine block.

Have a feeling this boat im looking at may have a engine that was put together with blue block parts. carb is not painted and the engine looks like its been worked on alot by the pictures. The boat is a great price and exactly what l want 288 sunsation. Its in canada about 5 hours from me and would save me a lot of time and money from not having to import one from the states. its a 2000 and has all the right features im looking for. he's asking 40,000 canadian and thats the price i would prolly pay in USD to get one from the states. then have the hassle of bringing it to canada.

Block and heads are black.
Intake, alternator, water circulating pump, Holly 830 carb, valve covers and all pulleys are blue. (with the possible exception of the pwr steering pump).

All the bolts on Blue motors have safety wire on them. Even the motor mount bolts.
