Q: i took a 73 dodge sportsman royal 1-ton from some hippies that were going to blow it up literally. i knew it had a blown head at the time. now i try to identify what the hippie said was a 318 it does have a 2bbl and the vin code calls for a 360. the number on the left front block below the cylinder head is 06130442 of course the book says read the 2nd 3rd and 4th or 3rd 4th and 5th digits to determine displacement 613 130 am i retarded. .

all mopar v8 engines have the displacement cast into the underside of the left bank. since thats hard to see all small blocks have a distributor in the back. check the damper if it has a counterweight its a 360 if the dist. is in the front it may be a 400 2bbl. max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan .

all mopar v8 engines have the displacement cast into the underside of the left bank. on the block on the drivers side just under where the heads came off there is the number from my previous post stamped i say not cast. is there a cast number there that i just cant see all small blocks have a distributor in the back. small block indeed i will look for the external balance .
