'69 casting Early model year '70 block 7-11-69 and it appears to be missing the first or last number of the vin 0B 11513? although if it is the first number it would be a 1.

Can you tell what it came out of?

Thanks for the info,

:thankyou:
 
If that is a 1969 318, then it is the 9.2:1 cr 230 factory horse power engine.

Those came with the driver's exit cast iron water pumps in '69.
 
Unless it's listed in The Hamtramk Registry, I'd say it came from a Challenger, Cuda, Duster or 340 Swinger.
I would have to agree with you there.

Its a 340

It's a 340. You can see it in the serial number on the front side of the engine.
 
So the block was cast July 11 1969 =7-11-69
3035 = 10,000 day calendar= Tuesday November 18 1969
0003 = engine built that day

If I had to guess, a cuda or challenger is most likely what it came out of.
