1969 340s were assembled & painted at the WINDSOR engine assembly plant - they had NO need for orange paint (the ORANGE engines * 383HP & 440HP * were built at Trenton & * HEMI * at Marysville)
Chrysler Blue engine paint was NEW for 1970 on low performance 318/383-2bbl/non-HP c-body 440s
there is NO good reason for a Chrysler Blue '69 340 to exist that one would want to copy in a restoration (mistake/repair/other/??)
It will go down as one of the great mysterys of our lifetime. Civilizations will rise and fall over this journey into the unknown. Any who paint their engine blue will be ridiculed and banished to the X brands for life.
