A Blue 1967 273 in a Dart GT?

[Bossanova5]

I picked up a 67 273 (Per the block stamps date & CI number) that has adjustable rockers and 920 heads.
The heads and block are that light blue Chrysler engine color. It looks like factory paint.
The valve covers are red, I know the whole thing should be red.
Any ideas?

It should be red

Looks like the trans that came on that blue engine . The trans is a 70 or newer. The torque converter won't fit into the crank of a 67

Headers, newer trans.... previous owner painted it blue, had chrome or cast valve covers on it, a custom torque converter and swapped the original valve covers back on so he could keep the fancy ones for his new motor.

How can you tell the transmission is a 70 or newer?

The numbers on the pan rail will tell you what year and sometimes what model the trans came in originally. Post those and I can tell you. The engine was likely rebuilt at some point and just got whatever paint that was handy.
