There for were a few different shades of blue available. Look at the build sheet or fender tag. If not available pull a door panel to look or look inside of trunk for remnants of factory colors.

He's talking about his engine if you see the other thread.

Post the fender tag and or build sheet and this forum will help you figure it out.
I think its a 383 two barrel car that had a four barrel added.
But it could be an A66 car that had its 340 swapped out or the 383.
What's the air cleaner look like?

1970 383 2 bbl, 383 4 bbl N code, automatic transmission in a non RT will also be blue.

I looked at your pictures. The shade of blue that is on the motor isn't the correct blue for 70. You can see it was a haphazard touch up with the wrong color.

Why do you think it was a 2 barrel?
You could get a '70 with a 4 barrel 383, auto, and AC and the engine would be blue.
It does have dual exhaust, but I suppose it could have been added. Like you say, we need to see the fender tag or build sheet.

My thought is...
If it was a four barrel and not an RT I thought it would have the 383 with four barrel emblem under it on the fender below the Challenger script.
We could figure this out with the engine digit in the VIN.
