1971 Duster 340. My engine casting number (14 digits) identifies the correct engine for my vehicle but the 8 digit vehicle serial number located right above oil pan rail does not match the last few casting digit numbers. Freak, mystery or mistake?

Great talking with you. I will put it on e-bay next weekend. Then to Columbus for the Mopar Nats on Aug.13. If no interest I will tear it down, paint it and drive it. "it is good to be alive!" Terry

Thank you for your help. I am sorry to say I lag behind todays communication blitz. I should have called myself "oldbutnotsoquic". I missed Carlise this year. Did you go?
