Is it the hemi orange, the lighter orange, or the light blue?. I'm supposed to pick up a rebuilt 400 next week and and going to give everything some engine paint and want to look somewhat correct for the year of the car.

I believe the 383 colour was turquoise.

Turquoise. I'm pretty sure Ski is showing that color and not the later blue.

I'm not sure name of the color but as Meep and I are quite convinced, this should be correct color.

Turquoise. Herbs paints sells it.

That 8009 intake is a good little intake!

Cool...thanks...I happen to have that weiand intake as well. appreciate the mention of herbs as I couldn't find a duplicolor or mopar turquoise listed anywhere

just double checking that this color was also on the HP blocks in 67 as well as my car is an RT.

OK

Turquoise. Chrysler Blue didn't show up until 1969, and only on certain engines.

Hmmmm, the engine in my 69 Dart GTS (340) is some shade of blue. Judging by your comment this is not the turquoise? I know 340's in 68 were red but don't know for sure for 69.
