1973 340 engine color

[randy73]

Going to repaint the block once it is rebuilt, but only 2 sources I found said the color was blue, but mine is orange and it is number matching. Does anyone know what the correct colors are for 73 340?

TIA

If you want correct from factory ... they were all blue by 1973.

Yeah, I believe the factory changeover was 72(?). I bought what the guy said was a 71 block and it was blue. Turns out it was cast in 71 but was for a 72 model year car.

Since 72 all engines were federated Blue Chrysler
