1968's were a redish orange color. A very few were blue but i haven't found any reason why or when the switch. I have a '69 340 with a blue engine (original) but have seen red on other 69's.

i have two barracudas, a 68 340 fastback 4 speed formula s and a 69 383 fastback 4 speed formula s. Chrysler did not have any consistency in its engine colors during most of the 1960s. engines were painted either red or "Chrysler blue" - a turquoise type of color. i bought a new 340 formula s in 1968 and it had a red engine. my current 69 is all original and its 383 is Chrysler blue/turquoise. in 1970, all 340, 383,440, 426 engines were painted orange.
