Default What engine is this

I hope maybe one of you Dodge guys can tell me what engine this is. I was told it's a 318.

Most likely it's a 318. What car is it in? Get the numbers off the fender tag and we can see what engine it's supposed to have too.

Looks like it's either a 273 or 318.

Did they have a 2-barrel version of the 273???

Actually, I just answered my own question. They had one up until 1970 it looks like.

Yes they did, and that car is a pre 70 based on the fender tag layout.
