I don't know if 1969 340 engines were blue, orange or turquoise. However, one point of clarification: the proper Chrysler engine green/turquoise is Dupli-Color DE1619. Dupli-Color calls it "Chrysler green engine enamel". (I used the color on my 440.)

The internet ad pictures for this product are often misleading and confusing because they incorrectly depict a generic blue rather than the Chrysler green.

Here's a picture of one of my cans of DE1619. In person it is somewhat more green than even this picture suggests.

My 440 had the original factory turquoise paint and the DE1619 seemed to match it perfectly.
