340 Engine VIN Number Question......

The number is 3B548027, the casting date is 2-8-70.

My 69 Dart has the full 13 digit VIN on the block

If yours is a partial, it looks like it could be the last 8 digits.

3 would mean 1973

B is Hammtrack plant

548027 is the sequential build number.

These numbers do not make sense with the 2-8-1970 casting date, so maybe it is not a partial VIN, are the numbers clearly stamped? is the casting date clearly marked?

Are you sure it is a "3" and not a "0"?
