could this partial vin tell what type of car it was originally in?

 

[Mr. Sinister]

Yes that number tells the blocks history.

1971 car built at Hamtramck, could be from an A or an E-body.

Was there a date break between 70-71 casting dates? Ive always thought it was from a late 70 model. But I realize with Mopars there are no absolutes.

3347 date is Sept 26 1970 for the build date

My guess, out of a Challenger.

1971 model year assembly line production start in mid 1970 (August). 1971 Cars were in the showrooms in September 1970, IIRC
