Hi All, Just joined, I’m from England. Looking for some info on a couple of 440 engines. Over here they are very rare to come across, Been offered a 1968 440 block. But I cannot identify it, owner claims it came from a 68 charger. Engine casting number is right. The engine block serial number is PT440 P23736050, PT points to coming from the right plant, Trenton The P after the 440 I didn’t think the engine should have a letter there? Have been told if it had an S in the engine number means Hi performance?
If you could help in this matter I would be very greatfull. The engine number is 3m34 thanks. • ryan Says: i have a 440 motor from a 73 motorhome the vin is 3693830-440-2 but alot of your truck motors came with steel cranks see if it has a pilot bushing hole drilled in the crank most of the truck motors if drilled 4 pilot bushing were steel • Linwood Says: I have an engine with Block Casting 4006730-318-7, can someone tell what this engine came out of? Need help please. • Andy Sikkema Says: Engine casting 400683-360-8 what was this engine in? • jerry Says: I have a block that is marked 2468 only(there is a blank, oval shaped pad after the first four numbers), R,L, 5/27/64 with the following numbers and letters on the pad “A 426 HP 5″.
But a P perhaps Police?? Front pad is D440 =68, date code looks right.
Any help, ideas would be great Thanks all.
The owner is a few hundred miles away so not easy to pop over to look at, and he is not a car man. Was it only the RT 440 stamped HP and the standard charger 440 not stamped HP? I Have a 68 RT charger, it was a one owner from Texas. It Came to England back in the late 80s. My Charger had an block swap before it came here, it’s got a 1970 440 in it non HP. Slick rick the great adventures of slick rick rar.
Thanks Jesse • Wayne Says: 4104230 - 318-13. Above it states that is is a race engine. Can you tell me what that means? Do you know that year, horsepower or any other info would be greatly appreciated. • heff Says: to mike polilowski I have the coded engine you are looking for.
I know its a 1978 and low compression block. But what i was wondering is how can i find out if its a truck motor, marine block, or rv motor? Also would like to know stock bore and stroke.
Can anyone identify this. Thank You • james lyon Says: I am trying to find out what year my 318 mopar was made.
(H=1987, J=1988, N=1992, P=1993, R=1994, etc.) This list does not include Dodge truck engine codes, which, except for the minivans, are mostly different than those for cars. In fact, the truck VINs use a different system, and may even omit the engine code.
1967-and-later • 3.91″ bore x 3.31″ stroke Even though physically the 1967 318 “LA” V8 shared little more than bore and stroke dimensions with its “A” engine cousin, the two were identical with respect to their intended use. The “new” 318 was the base V8 powerplant for the entire Chrysler product line. Because of its lowly status, the 318 didn’t even receive a 4-bbl carburetor and manifold until 1978, when the 360′s setup was borrowed for use on the little workhorse. While the 318′s pedigree may not match that of the Hemi, the fact that with a few modifications it’s still in production some 30 years later speaks very highly of the engine’s capabilities. 1968-73 • 4.04″ bore x 3.31″ stroke The 340 should be considered the “Hemi of the small block family”. Simply because the 340 was designed from the outset as a performance engine.
The 440 remained in production until 1978, although by then it had been strangled by the same unleaded fuel and emissions monster that ultimately killed all of Detroit’s big blocks. But the fact remains that, at least on the street, the hot-rod 440 six bbl. Engines of the ’69-70 period would often humble a similar Hemi-equipped model. 1964-65 Race only, 1966-71 Street version • 4.25″ bore x 3.75″ stroke How do you spell the ultimate in production performance engines? The mighty 426 Hemi was conceived in the early ’60s as the ultimate race engine, and ended up being the top powerplant of the muscle car era.
Considerably underrated at 290 horsepower at 5000 rpm (not coincidentally, Chevy’s Z/28 302 and Ford’s Boss 302 were also rated at 290 horsepower), by turning it higher, which it was more than willing to do, resulted in much more power. The 6-bbl 340s had beefier blocks with thicker main webs to go along with the forged crank and rods. The cylinder heads were also unique to the 6-bbl engine. Chrysler relocated the intake pushrods, which allowed a much larger intake port opening and thus more flow. The valvetrain was adjustable, and induction chores were handled by three Holley 2-bbls on an aluminum intake manifold. In late 1972, with factory performance nearing an end, the 340 got a cast crankshaft and heads from the 360.
The owner is a few hundred miles away so not easy to pop over to look at, and he is not a car man. Was it only the RT 440 stamped HP and the standard charger 440 not stamped HP? I Have a 68 RT charger, it was a one owner from Texas.
Is this a magnum engine or not? When did they switch to the magnum for the 360? • jerry Says: looking for a 426 street wedge engine block for my 1964 426 street wedge plymouth fury 4spd. Please help, thanks • Challenged Ed Says: I purchased a 1973 Challenger Rallye and was wondering if the numnbers stamped on the passneger side of the motor always matched the Vin#. Also, what do the numbers stamped below hte head on the drivers side mean.
Casting Numbers: Mopar Engine Casting Numbers 1959-1978 The engine block casting numbers for all B, RB, & LA engines are found on the left side of the block. On 1968 and later engines the numbers stamped on the lower rail of the engines right side match the last 8 digits of the cars VIN number.
The casting number is 2468130. 9 LL Thanks, Leif • paul baggerly Says: hi can you help me, i have a 440, block has 2536430-6 what does the -6 mean. Also block has 1-4-71, i know its a 1971,but the pad has h 440 then below that it has 9-27 i know tha h stands for 72, but is the9-27 1971 or 1972. One more thing is this a good motor and did this year have a steel crank thant you paul • Jim Says: Does anyone have any info on the Direct Connection 4104230 318 race block? Is it the same as the 340, specs etc??

I have a line on one in fair shape but really was looking for a Charger or Road Runner. • virginia king Says: we are still trying to find out about the motor in our 69 barracuda with a casting number on the motor of 714m3 the last 3 maybe a 5 its hard to read. Im trying to find out if this is original to the car or if not what its out of.
Well, unless you’ve paid a premium for a numbers matching car, or are planning on entering a concours show, they’re probably not. If you’re planning on simply driving and enjoying the car, it really doesn’t matter if the 440 is a ’69 or a ’70 model.
Over here they are very rare to come across, Been offered a 1968 440 block. But I cannot identify it, owner claims it came from a 68 charger. Engine casting number is right.
Part numbers starting with a '1' would be from the fifties. The second number represents the year. So in this case '8' would be 1968. This is why most big block parts will never start with a prefix earlier than 17 or 18, as they were first designed and released in late 1957 for the 1958 model year. This date system holds true for almost all part and casting numbers up until about 1969. During 1970 for some reason (except for a few 30XX parts) the 30XX-33XX prefix numbers were skipped and part numbers started at about 34XX, so most numbers for 1970 and 71 will begin with 34 or 35.

Have been told if it had an S in the engine number means Hi performance? But a P perhaps Police?? Front pad is D440 =68, date code looks right. But top of picture by drilling looks like a C, could be LC (low compression) was told a wrong way round C could indicate 6 pack block but no HP stamp on pad?
Or just keep my 1970 block? It’s hard to decode you read one thing on the net then something contradicts it and your back at square one.
1737709 I need to know the CID etc for this engine. Is it the original engine or a transplant from another Chrysler?
WHAT CAR WAS BUILT WITH MY ENGINE? COULD YOU LET ME KNOW THIS INFORMATION? THANK YOU, DAVID • daniel Says: Dart swinger 340 guy:you can tell by looking at the tailshaft.If it is really short(i will have to measure it)then it is an a-body transmission.I also have a 1970 dart swinger 340.It will get a 383 and 4-speed transmission.
Also, thanks to the wonders of technology, you can also order the parts catalogs scanned onto a CD from 'Mopar Manuals on CD ROM' at (203) 237-4795. Now on to the numbers themselves: Chrysler's part numbers are date specific, and if the numbers are broken down, it is possible to determine the year that the part was first put into use.

(Unless, of course, you’re the original owner — but how many of us can say that?) So the questions become: What is numbers matching, why is it important and how is it verified? In a nutshell, matching numbers refers to the various casting numbers, codes and dates found on all the major driveline components (engine, transmission, rear-axle assembly). On later models, the engine block and transmission carry the V.I.N. Number as well as the part number and i.d. But it doesn’t stop there.
Designed with an eye on the unleaded gas/low emissions future, the 400 was created by enlarging 383′s bore to 4.34″. Compression ratios were kept low on the 400 since the engine was engineered to replace the base 383 in non-performance applications.
The motor came out of a 1965 Belvidere. That is a poly 318. It is an “A” engine not an “LA”.
Carb heads etc correct 68 so was looking at this block as it’s a 68. Just trying to decide if it’s worth getting and maybe swapping in the future as unlikely to see one over here again. Or just keep my 1970 block? It’s hard to decode you read one thing on the net then something contradicts it and your back at square one.
A 1968 440 block, for instance, might read 2536430-12, or sometimes there will just be a space, such as 2536430 12, or sometimes 253643012. While 2536430 would be the casting number, the 12 would be the tooling revision number, which indicates how many times the tooling (core molds) have been reconditioned back to the proper specifications or modified to include improvements. After so many 'pours' the tooling gets worn and needs to be reshaped or reconditioned. So theoretically, higher numbers will be later dates and have any casting improvements incorporated into them.
Thank you • Bobby Goulas Says: HI Thanks for the information. I did find my engine casting number on your list. What does family refer to. • richard Says: any info you can give me on the numbers 4006730-318-16 on what type of motor it s and such.thanks. • Barry Says: I have a 318 with # 4006730-318-11 and would like to know what year it is.have you found out anything about your’s? • Lew Says: Anyone intrested in (2) completly rebuilt 1971 Chrysler marine 400ci engines w forged cranks? Nothing was overlooked on these engines.
The valve covers have stickers that say golden lion. Can anybody please help me! THANKS Jason • huntbison Says: I have a 1955 Chris Craft boat with a Chrysler Firepower Hemi motor. The number on the back of motor is 1323329. I’d like to know info on this motor, i.e. Cid, horsepower, etc. Anyone that can shed some light on this will be appreciated.
Each engine, for example, had a particular carburetor, distributor, set of cylinder heads, etc. For that combination. The true numbers matching car will also have the correct engine components as well.
• Dave Says: FYI:’58 B 350cid = c/n 1944929 per Amer V8 Eng Data Bk “49-”74 by P. Sessler • NATHAN TILLOTSON Says: I have a 440 id number 3830930-440-7 any clue.
And, where can you look up these numbers? Every site I’ve found has mostly muscle car numbers. I’m planning on putting this motor in a 33 plymouth sedan, and need parts badly. Thanks, Rick • Chris Chapman Says: I recently bought a new crated engine that has a casting # 4104230-318-4. THE SERIAL# is 3M318 0720xxxx. Can anyone tell me exactly what this engine was built for? • jesse Says: I have a 1968 383 motor, the pad under the distributer says: D 383 88 R I understand this means ist a 1968 383 intended for Regular fuel.
38XX started in late 1974 and was used mostly in 1975. 39XX was very limited and used in 1975, and then the numbers rolled over to 4000 prefix. One famous part that began to be used in late 1975 is the 4006 452 heads. Numbers seemed to stay in the 40XX and on a more limited basis, the 41XX prefix through all of 1976-77-78 to the end of production. The part to casting number dilemma: With many cast iron engine parts, the 'part' number which Chrysler used to identify a part on paper and for administrative purposes is not the same number that was cast into the part itself. This was the 'casting number' which is usually a very similar number except the ending digit is typically off by a couple places. One example is the famous 2843 '906' heads.
But I don’t understand the number 88. The underside of the engine near the strater/oilpan has the number PT34 I understand this mean it was made in trenton, and should use Regular fuel, but what date is 2202 and 0294? Any help would be appriciated.
Email is: The parts are in Suffield, CT. • John Says: I am not sure which size of motor i have here: the date on the block said 8-6--1 R.L.
