Try looking at Duplicolor DE1632 Chrysler industrial red. Not sure if its the same red they used.

Per ToolManMike's suggestion, that's the paint I got for my '68 340. Super close to what original paint was left on my block, timing chain cover, etc. It ended up being a little glossier than what I expected, but I also applied 3 coats to everything.

I always buy a can or two of clear high heat engine enamel and put it on after the color. It helps to seal the paint, looks nice and glossy and makes it easier to wipe up dirt and oil.

I've used this Dupli-color paint and it has held up great.

go to a Dodge dealer and get Mopar engine paint 4349218 Red. The correct color for 1967 318 motor

If someone is bent over your engine and says "You know, that red doesnt quite look the same as the red chrysler used, it seems to me to be a shade off." Reach over and smack em in the back of the head.

I just did vht clear on my block, because **** em.

Would be cool to have the block cleaned and then just take a rag with some acid and make the bare block look clean but a little rusty spots, maybe spray some paint on it and then wipe it with thinner to give it a tattered weathered look and then clear it. I swear its just a old junkyard 318,340 etc lol

This is what I did. Spray canned my motor and it looks fine. Although a clear on it after might be a nice touch.

Definitely, a clear coat over paint or full gloss single stage paint has better resistance to fluids and is easier to clean than satin, flat or semi gloss

Mine was a lil rusty and had splotches of the original blue... i just cleaned it off and cleared over it all.
