Found an aesthetically pleasing blue for MOPAR engines. TS-41 Coral Blue.

I saw someone post pictures of a 1969 Charger with then engine painted this color. Regrettably, I didn’t write down his name. But it was the best representation of MOPAR engine blue I had seen yet. It’s Tamiya TS-41 Now I have to build a couple more Chargers!?

If you want correct engine paint go to a Mopar dealer and order a bomb of it..One bomb will last you a lidetime..BTW the bottom of the bellhousing is the same color as the rest..

Looks like a close match to Chrysler Engine Turquoise (last used in the 1968 model year ) . There's at least two different shades of Chrysler Engine Blue ( 1971 & earlier ; 1972 & later , with late-production 1971 340's being painted the 1972 & up shade ) . 

Cool discovery !

What was I thinking? GM automatic maybe. That’s what happens when late night modeling I guess! Thanks for the heads up!

TS-41 is what I used on mine with just a touch of white added. The spray bomb from Mopar sounds like a deal if you do a lot of Mopars.

I  use a Krylon color called Bahama Sea for Chrysler engine blue. Looks dead on to me, and it's cheap.

Not on a 4 spd car. The inspection cover is black just like the one in his pic. And the trans pan on an auto is steel, different color from the aluminum case.
