what year is this 318 ??
Hi all
Just purchased this 66 charger and from what I see this isn't its original engine.Before I start replacing parts I want to be sure I put in the good ones and not just what was already in there.It should be a 318 poly easily identifiable by the wave form of the valve covers and 2 top bolts on each cover. Mine isn't like that. My engine casting number is hard to read but for sure its a 318. I looked at stock mopar to compare and can't find what I see. If you can look at the picture and let me know what numbers you see.
Thanks for you contribution.

It's hard to make out the 4th and 6th # but it does have two zeros in it that seems to be a non poly 318. See if you can find the casting date in it. Since it's from a transitioning period it would not be surprising to see the later used la style in it. Depend on when and what plant it was produced in.
