The '69-'71 High Performance 440 in the GTX was painted Street Hemi Orange from the factory in the 1:1

Personal favorite factory colors for the '71 include In-Violet (purple), Sassy-Grass Green, Bahama Yellow (Butterscotch)

Thank you Chris, 1971 still bore the 440 in Street Hemi Orange, and the 400s got the Chrysler Engine Turqouise color (both colors still available from Ma' Mopar by the way). Hemis (last production year for them and the 440+6) still wore their Street Hemi Orange coloration.

Actually 400's debuted with the '72 model year when all the Chrysler engines turned blue....

They still had a 4.25 bore and 383 cubic inches for '71

Thanks Chris...I was under the impression that the 400 was debuted in 1971.
