none of those parts are stock. he bought all of them all of them besides the rods and springs are in original boxs

also i forgot to add we have a brand new set of heads already assembled at the office they are wedge heads

 

wedge could be 413, 426, or 440
the numbers on the block would determine it

 

should the numbers be on top of the engine? on the front side? on the drivers side?passengers side? and under the spark plug line or under the exhaust ports?

 

also would a number off one of the pistons help?

 

the numbers on the block are on both sides of the block
one side is the cast date, the other side is the serial number
but, on top of the engine, in front of the intake manifold, there is a flat spot, if it is a 440, it'll say 4 40
you may have to look very close, the numbers are very light

 

in front or still on it?

 

on top in front of the intake manifold
if you cant find anything there, look for the numbers on the sides of the block

 

i found the flat spot i think your talking about but the only numbers i can see in it is this : 8-4

 

hmm, not sure what that means
maybe it isnt a 440, but it was dressed up to look like one?
ive seen lots of guys do that with 383's

 

well what if i gave you a number of one of the pistons

 

you mean one of the ones in the pics on your photobucket account?
if you know the company their from, it'll be the part #, and i can look that up

 

alright ill go get 1. does the distributer being in front of the motor signify anything?

 

that just means it is a b block or rb block
318,340,360 all had the distributor in the back

 

ok the ross racing pistons say they are 440 with a 12:1 comp heres the other 1's

they are from KS Shanghai and the number is z8222 and it has 060 below that which prolly means .60 bore

 

ok
ill look

 

couldnt really find anything on their website about the part
but, i think your right that they are 60 over pistons

 

so far ive got the connecting rods that say 440 and a set of pistons that say 440 so it sounds to me like its a 440. was there anything different between the big blocks that signifys each/

 

each rb was bored out to get to the next cubic inches
it could be a 440, but then it wont be the original motor to the car

 

probably isnt the orignial motor but it could be the original bored and stroked to a 440 or more right?

 

could be, but i dont know of using a 413 or 426 and stroking it to 440

 

its prolly not the original motor

 

the numbers would ultimetly determine that, but i agree with you

 

hey man, i gotta go
i'll be on later
any question, just post them and i'll answer them later
good luck

 

The intake casting # 2806301 is from a B-block 383 68-69.

 

thats fine lets hope it runs then ill put the supercharger set up on it if not out comes the motor and goes in the parts i found

 

hmmm i know that intake wasnt on there it was added whenever the supercharger was taken off

 

where do i look up casting numbers

 

i used mymopar.com http://www.mymopar.com/enginecastnumb.htm for block numbers and here http://www.mymopar.com/intakecastnumb.htm for intake numbers.

With it being a B-block intake, I'm pretty sure it's a B-block engine, not a RB, as (correct me if I'm wrong)RB blocks used a wider intake because of the raised heads. So you most likely don't have a 440 or 426. Most likely a 383.

 

hmm now i wonder is inside of it... if it is a 383 then it matches the car

 

is it possible its a 413?
