Number is 22058874. Can anyone identify this. Thank You • james lyon Says: I am trying to find out what year my 318 mopar was made. I am having a lot of trouble doing this as my engine appear to be out of a m bodied pick upwhich I dont seem to be able to track down.
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? But a P perhaps Police?? Network topology examples. 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? The owner is a few hundred miles away so not easy to pop over to look at, and he is not a car man.
Camshaft.I dont have the box that it came in but I do have all the lifters in their orig. Lil boxes.I know its mechanical purple shaft.I just dont know ifits a.528 lift or a.590 lift cam.It has some # on the end of it they are#950695 theese are stamped on the other end of the t.gear. Any help would be appreciated.Marty • Charles Baker Says: need to know the casting numbers on a dual overcam 2.2 99neon cam shafts • ken wellman Says: I have two engines a 318,and a 360 with casting numbers of 4179930-3-318-8 If you tell me anything about these engines would be much appreciated thanks KEN • seppo Says: Hi, Kevin!
On the distributor boss the numbers are MD 383 37424. The valve covers have stickers that say golden lion.
However, when Chrysler sold an oil pan, they included the gasket and the drain plug. Now you have an assembly of three parts. Other parts such as a connecting rod must include bolts & nuts, a timing cover must include a seal and gasket, etc, etc. Another situation can occur when a part is used over a long period of time, and the part number is changed by Chrysler (maybe for price increases or other administrative reasons) while the casting number is left alone. Take the standard 440 'LY' rods, casting number 1851535.
With the engine now in production, the Hemi could be raced in NASCAR legally. The street version of the Hemi is surprisingly similar to the race-only version, with only minor changes made for civility. The compression ratio was lowered to a more livable 10.25:1. The radical cross ram manifold and lumpy cam didn’t make it either, but the street version did receive two 4-bbl carbs (mounted inline) and a solid-lifter cam big enough to churn out 425 horsepower (which was substantially underrated). The valvetrain was essentially the same as the race units, although the valve springs were replaced with much softer units to keep cam wear to a minimum. The factory developed a set of cast-iron exhaust manifolds to replace the racing headers, which reduced noise and increased durability. In street form the 426 Hemi became known as the top-dog muscle car powerplant until it disappeared after the 1971 model year (which, by the way, was also the last year for the 440 6-bbl).
Thank you • Mike Smith Says: I just purchased a 1972 Dodge Dart that I plan on restoring. I bought it with no motor or transmission. I pulled a motor out of an old Dodge plow truck I own with low miles on it. The casting # on the block is 4104230-318-15 the number stamped under the drivers side head is 2m 34 What year is this engine? According to your chart this is a race engine, is this true? This information will be helpful for ordering parts- Thankyou Mike Smith • Danny Odom Says: I have a casting number 4006830-360-3, I can not find what CID it iscould you please help?
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. They are Chrysler part number 2843 904.
The Hemi did undergo a few running changes through its production life, with the most noticeable being the camshaft and block change in 1970. The mechanical cam was replaced with a hydraulic type, and the block was revised and strengthened also, basically making it suitable for use in fuel (nitro) drag racing. The rest, as they say, is history.
It is a 1965 Dodge Coronet 440. The casting number is 2206383V.
The story of the street Hemi actually starts in 1963, when Chevrolet set a new track record at Daytona with their Mark II “Mystery Motor”, the forerunner to the Mark IV big block. The Chevrolets broke during the race, which led to a Ford sweep in the biggest race of the year. Now, at Chrysler, the handwriting was on the wall. Get competitive or get out. So the Race Hemi was created by taking the early Hemi heads and adapting them for use on the RB bottom end. The mighty 426 race Hemi was ready for the ’64 race, where Chrysler finished 1-2-3.
Also would like to know stock bore and stroke. Either way i have intensions on building this block cause there is no 440s left here. I want to go big with it from aluminum heads to 871 supercharger. What all will i need to do to this block to get it ready.
• mike hazard Says: Can someone help me out? I have a 77 440 with a casting number of 4006650-440-8. I知 trying to find all the specs for this motor.it is in a pace arrow motorhome i just got if anyone has any infor on it please email me at thank you • tony leone Says: can anyone tell me where to find the actual engine no. On a 1976 plymouth gran fury coupe with a 400 c.i. Thanks Tony • Larry Dawson Says: I have a pretty decent looking old wedge in pieces. I am looking to restore the engine but it does not appear on any lists that I have.
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. 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.
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. But as far as small blocks go, the 340 is legendary. 1971-present • 4.00″ bore x 3.58″ stroke Being the biggest of the small blocks doesn’t necessarily mean that it was the best performer. Though only equipped with a 2-bbl and a relatively low compression, the 360 was still able to turn out 255 horsepower (gross rating) in its first year of production. The following two years weren’t so kind to the 360 with horsepower levels falling to 175 and 170 respectively.
It’s hard to decode you read one thing on the net then something contradicts it and your back at square one. Few books I have don’t really break it down enough.
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.
Oil Pump Engine Oil 35 ft-lbs. Oil Pan Engine Oil 15 ft-lbs. Camshaft Locking Bolt Thread Locker 35 ft-lbs. Timing Cover Engine Oil 10 ft-lbs. Intake Manifold (Cast Iron Heads) Non- Hardening Sealer 40 ft-lbs. Valve Cover Engine Oil 6 ft-lbs.

Note that the number only tells you the FIRST year it was used. If the part continued to be used for five years, the number will not indicate this. The numbers will almost always be a 7 digit number. For clarity and ease of writing, this seven digit number is usually broken up into two parts, a prefix and a suffix, similar to a seven digit phone number. However, the way it is split up is with the beginning 4 digits first (the prefix) and then the last three digits (the suffix) which is a mirror image of how a phone number is divided.
That will vary depending on how much the molds moved in the specific piece (usually engine block) you are talking about, and the only way to tell if there is enough material in the cylinder walls is to sonic check the specific block you are going to use. As you probably learned from our ' ' page, (and if you haven't read this page yet, you should) there are no thinwall blocks, however we have found core shift to be less prevalent in the later blocks, perhaps due to improvements in casting technology over the two decades the engines were in production.

And as you can appreciate these cars and blocks are rare to find over this side of the pond. Any help, ideas would be great Thanks all.
Anyone have more info or a website? • Ramon Miller Says: I am looking to buy a 2 x 4 intake manifold for a poly head 318 mopar engine. If anyone has one or knows anyone that does. Please contact Ramon by email at:, or by phone at: 510-797-7338 (Fremont, CA) as soon as possible. Thank you • Bobby Goulas Says: HI Thanks for the information. I did find my engine casting number on your list.
Anyone that can shed some light on this will be appreciated. • douglas boucher Says: WHERE ON THE LEFT IS THE CASTING ## I CAN NOT FIND IT ON THE MOTOR.PLEASE HELP THANK YOU DOUG • phil taylor Says: I just recently purchased a mopar engine froma friend and he swaers the engine is a273. I checked casting number decoders and come up with nothing. The casting number is 2653304. The block is definitely built in 1965 according to the numbers on the right side of the block.

Is it the original engine or a transplant from another Chrysler? • andrew Says: # Fred Says: August 1st, 2007 at 5:27 pm I am looking at buying a 318 wedge motor but I知 not sure if my research is leading me in the right direction. Is this motor the same as a 318 LA or does anybody have any info on this engine. The motor came out of a 1965 Belvidere. That is a poly 318. It is an “A” engine not an “LA”. The bottom end stuff is pretty much the same but the top end is completely different.
(This is a fictional example only.don't go running to the junkyard and take every 1963 slant six pulley you find) The way to find this interchange information and 'work backwards' so to speak is by using Chrysler's 'Parts Catalogs.' Every year Chrysler's 'Catalog and Publications Dept' would put out a 'Parts Catalog' (sometimes multiple years were condensed into a single catalog) which were sent to the dealers so they could look up parts for service mechanics and customers. One catalog was issued for passenger cars and a separate one for trucks. They were usually about five inches thick and came in hard plastic blue binders. Because only dealers could get them, the originals are not very easy to come by anymore. Fortunately, reproductions are available (or you can occasionally find the originals) at Faxon auto literature. They also have tons of other great Chrysler literature such as owners and service manuals, and even the original dealer sample books that were used to help customers pick the paint colors and interior fabrics.
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. 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.
My Charger had an block swap before it came here, it’s got a 1970 440 in it non HP. 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?
