69 273's were blue
Right, I was wondering if the blue engine valve cover pic posted above by Jim may even be a 273? Some more pics showing the entire engine, the car, and some numbers info might answer some questions.

I would love to see a photo of the x casting on the head on this blue 340 engine or maybe the casting date.

the mag article linked above says the car is 6/69 production date. I don't know how close (or very close) that is to the end of '69 production. It does have the plastic limiter caps on the carb, which earlier 69 340's did not.
Is this car listed in the 69 GTS/ Swinger registry?
