Building the ‘73 Petty Charger and was looking for info on Hemi engine colors? Was the block dark blue or light blue? Were the heads the same color? 
 

I assume the valve covers were flat black?

What about headers? White or natural steel? 
 

Any under-hood pics for engine bay plumbing/wiring?
 

Any other tips appreciated.

I think his engine blocks at this point were the same dark blue as his chassis components. I have seen them in Petty blue to though.

Here's a link I posted from another source with lots of photos from the time period

They are Ford or OSHA Blue. Steel headers.
