someone mentioned the engine color was wrong so what color is engine supposed to be ?

The 340 was orange from 1970 - c.May 1971 . You may paint the engine "1972 Blue" and call it a late-1971 model .

Here's a breakdown of year-by-year for the 340 :

1968 = Chrysler Engine Red 

1969 = Chrysler Engine Turquoise **

1970 = Chrysler Engine Orange 

1971 = Chrysler Engine Orange ( through ~ April 1971 , when the colour was changed to the "1972 Blue" )

1972 = Chrysler Engine Blue 

1973 = Chrysler Engine Blue 

** The 1969 340 engines' colour depended-upon two things : (1) Some early-production Darts and Barracudas had "leftover" red engines ; (2) Some late-production Darts and Barracudas had "early" engine orange engines , and ; (3) Assembly plant location . Los Angeles for example produced some red 340 powered cars as late as December 1968 . The majority of 1969 340s were Chrysler Turquoise --- that's the safest bet when building a 1969 Dart or Barracuda .
