Yes, those plants were closer, like 1/2 to 3/4 mile apart. Was just taking a guess from memory. Ask the mailman: Ex. Address of (21000 Mound Road minus 5000) ÷ 2 = 8,000 = 8 Mile Road and Mound Road, center of intersection. (19000 Mound Road minus 5000) ÷ 2 = 7,000 = 7 Mile Road and Mound Road...

Yes, you're right. I had two cop cruisers so I should have remembered. EH1 - Lil Red Truck.

Yes, I think your right. I had forgotten the separation between trucks and cars. "Federal" trucks were not limited but Canada, California, and Export categories had different emissions standards, later in the 1970's. Can't remember a specific date. The best engineers were technicians too at some...

Lots of great ideas here, too bad someone wasn't there 1966-67 (In Highland Park Engineering) to suggest some for T/A engine program. Tremendous cost and time factors to redevelop an engine, why didn't they keep and offer the T/A for other models (than E body). Even cheaper, why couldn't you get...

OK, I'll guess. It looks very similar to a Cheby 538 4106. I think they're usually measured from centerline of bottom bolt hole to top of threaded portion, and setback (from bolthole) and then any offset, left or right. Try Shifter Doc site.

I would like them please.

Agreed with A38 above, prolly not a Race engine. I think OP gave the VIN number in post #15? 81 engine, 78 truck. Date code given for front of block doesn't appear correct, at least to me. I would have been at Dodge Truck, working in 1981, so good chance this engine passed by me (depending on...

Like mentioned above, the numbers. I wonder if there is "T" stamped below left head too. I have seen it on B, RB blocks but those were from Trenton Engine. 318's were from Mound Road Engine. All were blue that year, at least in the Truck Plant. There may have been a different color on the...

I agree with Dano, get the numbers off the machined pad to identify.

Ink Stamped Numbers for E-Bodies (Mostly found in Light Blue Ink) 696 = 1970 318 4 Speed 696 = 1970 340 4 Speed (4 Barrel) 789 = 1970 340 4 Speed (Six Pack) 675 = 1970 383 4 Speed 677 = 1970 426 4 Speed (Hemi) 677 = 1970 440 4 Speed 753 = 1971 318 4 Speed 753 = 1971 340 4 Speed (4 Barrel) early...

I would say that Murray made some very valid points in #9. Specifically, the painted number was Primarily for the line person. The number would likely vary as to Models A or B or others, 18 vs 23 Spline, gear ratios, and the year. Leave us not to forget an engineering change in mid-year, of even...

No, except for maybe the Galen Govier "White Books". I think it's likely that for the right number you would need the build sheet from the donor car. Maybe someone has the same year, make, model, input spline, gear ratio, etc. Keep in mind my guesses are based on 50+ year old memories.

I can't see the stampings on the pad BUT, I'm curious if the two cases marked 872 are the same year. If so, maybe the 872's had same ratio and main shaft, bearing retainer, etc. I'm also wondering if Govier's White Books shows part numbers.

Thanks Dan! If anyone would know about 4 speeds, it would be you.

The three digits represented the last three digits of the transmission part number. It was on the "Broadcast" or build sheet. The transmission line, where I worked (at Dodge) was part of a sub-assembly line or loop - not the Main vehicle line. This sub-assembly "loop" and another, "dressed" the...

Try Vacuum Orna-Metal in Romulus, Michigan. They did mine in February. They dipped it to strip it, then repaired cracked piece and rechromed it. Turned out really nice. Talk to Steve. They do the lenses too and if you want, apply the overlay (woodgrain). I'll post a picture in a few days (when I...

I took mine to Vacuum Orna-Metal also. I second everything Bob said in his post. Mine cost a little more because of repairs to it and I had two sets of lenses polished + woodgrain applied. Excellent job. I'll post some pics at later date. Steve is the guy there I dealt with, really helpful guy...
