Was there a specific Mopar brand or years that the motors came turquoise blue from the factory? Seems most everyone is orange under the hood and wasn't sure if it's just preference or correct. Thanks anyone.

Someone got one of Govier's books? I heard he says 1969 was the last year for turqoise on 440's.

Its a sticky on the top of the 1966 to 1970 forum category. It has a title "Engine paint"
But I forewarn you its not as clear-cut as you may think.
Personally, I have a 69 that i am dropping in a 440. I am going to paint it turqouise since Hemi orange is like a-holes, eveyone has got one.

Motor paint color
You have the paint color for a 64 lightweight Hemi car. I have some old pictures of my dads car and the motor and intake look like they are not painted . (Black & White photo's)
Any help would be appreciated!!

My '71 Charger has a 318 and it's blue of some sort. Then again there's 40 years of crud on it that I haven't washed off yet.
