I am looking for the 1969 340 blue paint. It's not the big block turquoise, and it's not corporate blue. Every where I check, no one has it. Thanks for any help.
I was hoping I wouldn't get responses like this. 1969 340 engines were red early in the year. Not orange. Later 69 340 were a blue.69’ should be orange. Maybe why you
Can’t find it.
I’m sorry- not a smart remark at all.I was hoping I wouldn't get responses like this. 1969 340 engines were red early in the year. Not orange. Later 69 340 were a blue.
I had a can of Mopar paint that was the correct color, but I didn't keep the can. Plus, I had 2 engines, both blue. One is mine. If you don't know, that's fine, just please don't try to make smart remarks, without the proper info.
Maybe check a Ford engine blue if you want blue. Ford used several different blues, one might be close enough for you.I’m not sure where to get year correct 69 blue, but the 69 engine I have from a cuda notch was factory blue.
Thanks for that. Very helpful.
But why Blue? Unless your doing a concours resto. I bought a brand new 1970 340 4 speed duster and the engine was orange. IMO the Blue or turquoise belongs on C-bodies.
Yeah, if I had known how hard it would be to find it, I would have had some mixed up.
That is not the 69 turquoiseIs this the Mopar Engine Blue you are looking for, I buy it at the local O'Reilly's store. Its what I use on all of my blue Mopar Engines.

That is not the 69 turquoise either
Im doing the corporate blue at first i was gonna do orange even bought the paint but then I reconsidered it for 2 reasons one my car is orange and I thought the 2 different color oranges would clash and 2 that blue was original to 75 360s and I thought it would be a nice touch to have that originality factor. No my car isn't a restoration or original but I want it to appear as original as possible. Plus I really like the blue. LolBut why Blue? Unless your doing a concours resto.
