M-code Dart, Barracuda 69 440 bare block

As Edd440se states the vin# is for a GTX. The assembly date of 8 24 HP is likely to early for M-code A-bodies as the 1st batch was C01 SPD(12/1/68) but some of these cars weren't built til mid January! Not sure when the earliest cars were actually built. The good part is this block DOES have the bosses and CAN be drilled and tapped for the M-code A-body motor mount just above were the oil pump is mounted.........How did i get that smiley face there? 12/1/68

Looking at 2 '69 383 A-body blocks(both have raised tits), a '67 440hp block(no raised tits) and 2 '69 440hp blocks(one has raised tits, the other doesn't) all these blocks have the bosses above the oil pump mount.

My '69 440hp block from a GTX also has the same 2 raised tits as your block but not drilled and tapped.

Those raised tits drilled and tapped on a 383 block is where the motor mount would be for 383 A-bodies, i think not all 383's have the raised tits, but i have a '71 383 block with the raised tits in a 383 A-body from long ago.

These pics are a '69 440 with the correct left A-body motor mount, this 440 doesn't have the raised tits.
