Correct 440 valley pan paint color

[WileE]

Well they all had them when new.

Well.... no. I remember coming across it on a job way back then and wondered, what the hell is this, since I hadn't seen it before. Matter o' fact, don't recall seeing it again.

Dont use that engine color chart above, it has too many incorrect entries on it.

Curious as to your source data.
Can you provide?

some incorrect examples

1962-63/65 all 413 orange (Not single 4bbl)
1966-67 383 HP orange (were turquoise)
1966-67-68 440 HP orange (were turquoise)
1969 340 red (were blue)

I agree, strange chart.

My 440 MH engine had the insulation...at least what was left of it, as well as acorns, chewed up paper towels, sunflower seads, AND somebody's missing 10MM socket!

10MM socket

Here are pictures of that heat/sound insulation that I used on my 440. At this point, I had used up all my Turquoise engine paint, so it is "au naturel". I also did not have the sheet metal plates that went on the valley pan hold down straps.

Nope....My 71 bee 383 did not when new.

Ok, y'all clarify for us, if an engine DID come with the an insulated pad, did it have for sure both front and/or a rear 'hold in place' sheetmetal shield .

Pulled countless 440's out of Chrysler New Yorkers back in the day, all had the front and rear pads and sheet metal retainers.
