A friend has a 1970 Barracuda with the HP 335 horse 383 in it . He is restoring the car and wants to know what the correct engine color is. Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like a trick question ..... or at least a trick answer.

The only 335hp '70 Barracuda would be in a 3 or 4-spd car. Is that the question you are asking?

A '70 Barracuda (BH23N0/BH27N0B) with an automatic would be 330hp & painted "Chrysler Blue" & have a Carter 4bbl.

A '70 Barracuda Gran Coupe (BP23N0/BP27N0B) with an automatic would be 330hp & painted "Chrysler Blue" & have a Carter 4bbl.

A '70 'Cuda (BS23N0/BS27N0B) with an automatic would be 335hp & painted "HEMI Orange" & have a Holley 4bbl.

A '70 Barracuda, Barracuda Gran Coupe, 'Cuda (BH23N0/BH27N0B, BP23N0/BP27N0B, BS23N0/BS27N0B) with a 3 or 4-spd would be 335hp & painted "HEMI Orange" & have a Holley 4bbl.
