Hello. I'm the proud owner of a California kept rust free 74 charger. I bought it with 234,000 on the odometer. Originally the 74 SE came with the 318 but the owner told me he did a swap for a 360 with an early 70's Imperial back when both cars had about 100k.

I did some sleuthing around and apparently there wasn't such a thing as an early 70's Imperial 360. Only 440. The earliest 360 imperial engine didn't come out till the 80s. Something didn't make sense but I decided to roll the dice anyways.

As soon as I got home I jacked up the car and checked out the engine stamp. 3418496-2-360 not only is it a 360 but it's a 71-74 360! Just before they started getting neutered ^_^

Wow thanks for the warm welcome! Yea the car has some (in my opinion) tasteful mods. Not touching the exterior at all. Needs extensive interior work, full bushings, turn signals, maybe rehooking the heater core. Definitely tons to do.
 
74 was the first year for the 360 in a B body but Chrysler (and some other C body cars sometimes got new engines a year early)

I could have sworn I pulled electronic ignition from a 72 Newport with a 360, but it could have been a 73 I suppose.
