'76 Cordoba E64 engine

[Cookie184]

Hello, I am looking at a '76 Cordoba and the fender tag states an E64 Engine, what engine is this? It is a non-catalist engine based on the door jam label.

This is what Google said:


The Chrysler Cordoba E64 engine was a 392-325 horsepower Hemi engine with a Torque Flight Automatic transmission.

Here are some other engines that were available for the Chrysler Cordoba:

• 225 cu in (3.7 L) Slant six: The standard engine for the Cordoba and Mirada, with 95 horsepower
  
  
• 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8: A detuned 130 horsepower engine that was optional
  
  
• 360 cu in (5.9 L) V8: A higher-output 185 horsepower engine that was not popular and discontinued after 1980
  
  
• 400 cu in V8: An engine that was available for the 1977 Chrysler Cordoba

Thanks,

400 cubic inch with a 4 bbl carb

The first five characters on the dashboard VIN should be SS22N and the "N" is the 400-4bbl engine

Looks like an aftermarket wiring clap trap.

Looks like an aftermarket wiring clap trap.

Clap trap? Is definitely aftermarket.

 

[DeltaV]

Yes! SS22N.

Thank you

That was the optional engine for the '76 model year and included dual exhaust. I do not recall if it included a resonator on each tailpipe.

Clap trap?

Sorry, that's just me being flippant about the wiring. To me it's like seeing bubbles under the paint...worse things are lurking.

Neither 392-hemi or slant 6 was in a 76 Cordoba, and a Mirada did not yet exist.

Maybe it's just the picture but the ground cable looks to be undersized.

If that car has a trailer hitch it's for the trailer brakes. Adjustable reostat for brakes.

Pretty sure that’s what it is!
