383 engine #'s

[f55079]

Hi guys,

I took my motor out of my non matching numbers gts this week and trying to get some info about the motor. Can anyone decode?

Both sides of the block 2468130-8-

R side near oil pan 9a263076

Heads 2843906 and a screwed on plate inside 04039

Stamped on pistons,7023p

Thank you

Do you know what year or what it may have came out of ?

 

[p/schallenger]

should say right on the block

Is 9a263076 the vin #? And how do I tell which year it is

Thanks

it should have a date code cast into the side of the block left side above the 2468130-8- and perhaps a clock with a pointer and around (below generally) there with an arrow pointing to D for day or N for night shifts that will be when the block was cast. Generally it would have been used +/- 3 to 6 months later.

On the front left side of the block under where the head bolts on there should be more numbers (PT383xxxxxxxx) there and they will be engine assembly specific. the pan rail number are part of a VIN from the vehicle it was used in. So with a 383 1468130 block 1959 -71 the vin on it is 68-71 that's when they started doing that.

The "9" in the VIN indicates a 69 motor. 906 heads were also used on 69 383's (1970 also). The last six digits are the sequence number of the VIN of the original car.
