The letter in that part of the VIN designates the assembly plant, not the engine size... The model year of the car was 1969 and the F would be the Newark Assembly plant...

Post a pic of the vin number from the id pad on the passenger side just above the oil pan...

Yeah, but I was able to be the first reply, so I covered for you...

That engine was built in Windsor... Not that there's anything wrong with that, just stating a fact....

May the 4th be with you... (If the block was cast a day earlier than you predicted....) :D

Don't assume the casting dates as blocks can be unloaded in many stations on the block machining line and then sit on a pallet until that operation becomes starved from upstream, then they load any blocks that they have sitting 'around' to keep the machine lines running... Casting dates can get...

How do you know it was a May 5th casting date??? Cinco de Mayo!!!

Yes, Challengers were made in Hamtramck....

The last digit looks like an 8 to me...

Hey, it was cast on 7-11.... :D

@Eddie348

I've seen a few with complete VIN's... But most were just the last 8 digits...

Have you made a similar post on FEBO??? If it came out of a Challenger, that would be a good audience to find the original car...

I'm in a state of shock.... :eek:

How to ID a Small Block Engine Block:

show pics of the mains and casting numbers on the block....

Most likely...

The car gets loaded to the assembly line in sequence with the assembly plant sequence number... However, it can be mixed in the paint shop... Two tone paint takes a second pass through the paint shop for the second color vs a single monotone paint which can be done in one "lap" through the...

I don't think that the assembly plant sequence number is coded on the fender tag... They are on the broadcast sheets/build sheets that you usually find under a seat or behind the glove box.... There is a space on the build sheet that lists the assembly plant sequence number...

Here is a thread explaining the markings on a small block: How to ID a Small Block Engine Block:

The letter in the 7th to last position is the assembly plant code... If you know what assembly plants built which car then you can figure out what car it was originally in....

VIN is just a number assigned when it is being scheduled for build... Sequence number is on the build sheet.... Sequence number is what actually determines what order it went down the assembly line... Very rarely are two consecutive VIN numbers built back to back.... When a vehicle is...

Watching....

From the casting date, it's either a very late 70 model, or most likely from a 71 model car.... I will predict it's from an early 71 car....

Then post a picture of the VIN number stamp from above the oil pan on the passenger front of the block... Then they can see if it matches their car...

No, it's not a T/A block....

Here's a thread on how to decode the markings on your block: How to ID a Small Block Engine Block:

The assembly plant is coded into the VIN stamp on the front passenger side of the block just above the oil pan... You can at least pin it down to the assembly plant and look up to see what models were built there...

I've heard of some people going around and stealing fender tags at shows...
