I know that 69 roadrunners with air had a blue painted engine, but I could have sworn that the survivor bee I looked at had an orange 383. would it have been blue also? How about for an R/T or GTX with a 440 air combo? thx in advance

IIRC

1969 RR & Super Bee 383 auto with A/C - turquoise
1969 RR & Super Bee 383 4-spd with A/C - orange
1969 RR & Super Bee 383 auto without A/C - orange
1969 RR & Super Bee 383 4-spd without A/C - orange

1969 Charger 383 4bbl auto with A/C - turquoise
1969 Charger 383 4bbl 4-spd with A/C - orange
1969 Charger 383 4bbl auto without A/C - turquoise
1969 Charger 383 4bbl 4-spd without A/C - orange

1969 b-bodies with 440HP - orange

Any '69 B body A/C car regardless of transmission, got the 330 horse turquoise. I've come across five 69 B body 383-4 engine assemblies:

A/C auto = Turquoise 899 engine assembly
A/C manual = Turquoise 897 engine assembly

No A/C manual = Orange HP 925 assembly in four speed B bodies (RR/SB/Charger/Satellite/Coronet)

No A/C auto = 926 orange HP assembly in RRs/SBs

No A/C auto Charger = turquoise 900 assembly possibly another number used too.

For the R/Ts and GTX's ....

A/C was only available with the automatics and both assemblies (w and w/o) A/C were orange.

Assembly 916 was HP with auto and A/C. 917 was HP auto without A/C.

The B5 survivor Bee with a/c at Carlisle every year has a turquoise motor. It is a one owner car. Turquoise is correct for Bees and Runners w/ a/c. Is yours a 4 sped by any chance?

John that B5 A/C survivor '69 Bee is the auto that's been around for a long time is that correct?
