Hello Forum.
My neighbor gave me a 1972 dodge motorhome. It shows 23,000 miles on the odometer and I cannot imagine it having 123,000 from inspection of the parts that wear.
The engine says 1972 on the valve cover and also says it’s either a B,LB, RB or RBM.
I have not been able to get the casting numbers as it’s always been dark when I looked at it and the AC is in the way.
From my limited knowledge and recent interest in MOPAR vehicles, a 400 B is a big block engine with the distributor in the front of the engine. This engine appears to be more like the 318/360 design to my untrained eye.
I’m hoping to get some clarification on what exactly it is I’m looking at.
seeing it’s a class C motorhome, I would assume it’s a heavy duty version of what ever variation of engine it might be...
I was considering installing the engine in my 1964 valiant and rebuilding the slant 6 to completely stock so I can always restore the car to all original if I so desire.
will this engine fit with minimal modifications?
I own a manual machine shop/ fabrication shop so making adapters, brackets and mounts is not an issue.
thanks for any information in advance.
