Motor Identification, How do I?
I own a 1969 charger SE. I pulled the motor and I only have my limited knowledge and the sellers word of what it is. Where can I go to look up the block number to make sure it is what I think it is?
The motor falls into the catagory of 1966-1972 440 like I thought but how do I determine what year? The block shows that it was made in 1967 which supports my thought of it being a 68 rt motor. The blocks would of most likely been built late the previous year. Does the eighth digit tell me the year. The first seven gave me my motor info. I have it narrowed between 67 and 68. Thanks in advance.
I know on the smallblock engines it has a date and a little clock casting thing on the lower section of the block. I think I remember reading that the BB engines were the same.
I'll have to check the block again, it's at my old mans garage. I remember a 1967 date but I was told that it is a 68 RT440. Just curious while I have your attention. Who seems to be the best company to buy performance parts from? I'm partial to Jegs just because they are in the same town.
