...internal if anything. I’m gonna use of hat I have from both and make the best 318 I can. With that said, which block do you recommend? Cast 4104230 dated 8/31/79 Cast 4006730 dated 9/13/76 I have two sets of cast heads. Cast 4027163 I have an Edelbrock performer intake and Hedman headers...

Your casting number is 4104230, that is a run of the mill early 80s 318. Nothing special, and when you pull the heads dont be suprised if the head bolt holes are not cracked to the water jackets. I generally scrap those blocks, if you want to build a 318, try to find a earlier block, 67-74 or...

This is GREAT info. I was being sold on having a special "race" edition 318 because of the -14 at the end. THANK YOU.

I'm another vote for the 5.2 Magnum....

Check both blocks out and use the one with the least wear. Same for the cranks. Looks like you have a Performer and an original 340 intake. Use the best pair of heads, with the valves as close to the chamber and no corrosion. The heads should have induction hardened exhaust seats, so should...

I just want to understand why there are 2 different casting numbers for blocks from 75 to 78. Were they built in different places? Why would they do this? Makes little sense unless something is different about one of the blocks. The one I have came from a truck. Were they heavy truck blocks...

Thanks for the info. I guess The best way to see it would be to Jack the car up and look up there from underneath. I tried to stick my camera in there from the top but couldn’t see it

Welcome. There is a old thread on here about this engine. 318 race engine 4104230-318 any info. on these engines?

Browsing through Facebook marketplace for stuff I don't need, I came across a 318 the owner swears is a race block (casting number 4104230-318-4). Doing some research, several sites list it as a race block except for the site (mopar casting numbers) says it is a '76-'84 standard block. I wonder...

I found no useful info there. lol

Nos, never built 318 (340) X block. Still in its original factory orange with inspection marks. Bore is 3.860. Cast 4/30/1979. 4104230-318-5 $3300 obo. I've had this block for 10 years and time for a new home. If you have been thinking about a turbo, nitrous, or supercharging a small block, this...

There is conflicting information because every time a question is asked about these old blocks tons posts talk about regular old 318 blocks. The fact is when the old race blocks were cast they used an existing casting number. So the only real way to know for sure it is a race block is the other...

lets see some pics . My dad had a 1941 massey harris with a 6 cyl chrysler engine in it , it was dangerous , no governer !!

Yes those are hard to read at times. The front stamping says 8-78 for the build, if 78 MyMopar.com says 59-78: 4104230 318 - LA Race - Painted Orange, and your's definatley painted mopar blue.

Just Googled that Block Number and it shows: Race Engine 4104230 318 LA Race Engine Info located at: Mopar Engine Casting Numbers Looks Interesting, wonder what is different about it ? Maybe a little more Nickle in it ? Good Find . . .

It’s not a race engine, it’s a truck engine. There is a bunch of confusion around that casting number, but unless it has an “x” block and 4 bolt mains it isn’t the race engine. 318 race engine 4104230-318 any info. on these engines?

Race engine?

Hi, I recently was going through some of the stuff I have around and noticed something strange on a 318 block I have, the casting number is 4104230 but there's a large R casted before it. Searching it up I find that it should be either a "race block" or a later 80's stock 318, yet the casting...

Thanks, just saw that as well.....

Maybe it's a Racer-X engine.... :D

So why the heck does it have a poly crankshaft

You came to the right place to ask about mopar stuff! If there's one thing I've learned being on here, is there are a lot of people here that know their stuff! And are more than willing to help out. Welcome to FABO! Who knows.. ya might find a little Dart somewhere.. then you'll be hooked :)

...to understand it and keep it running in tip top shape. Found you guys when I tried to track down the engine block off the series number.....4104230-318-16. I think the date stamp says 2-15-83. No R, X or anything I can find, and no vin# where it was supposed to be. So NOT a race engine, but...
