318 Question
Hi all, im new and hope im in the right forum.... I have a 1972 318 LA engine. Under the numbers that are on the front of the engine are the letters "RB", they are vertical. Does anyone have any idea what this can mean? The engine is in a 1973 Dart Sport that was formally an undercover police car back in the 70's.

That's not "BR", it's 318R and unless the block is some oddity, or has been rebuilt by someone who obliterated that number string, every small block has the CID as that one does, IE 273/318/340/360
(I have a Mopar rebuilt, 040 360 which had that number obliterated, and a glue on!! sticker replaced it)

Here is some stamping info:http://www.yearone.com/updatedsingle...gnumbers4.html
Nothing I have seen in a stock block like this, sometimes a machine shop will stamp an identifier if work has been done or a warranty repair.

Thanks for all the input people, if it is a replacement block from the factory would there be numbers down by the oil pan where the ID numbers should be? The numbers I have on the ID plate are 2R3555 8. There is no number between the 5 and 8. Thanks again people for all your help.
