Tales From the Factory: Matching Pistons and Blocks
I wonder if the upside down stampings somehow correlate or otherwise signify an oversize part(s) used or to be used on this particular block, much the same as the paint marks on the bore sides do??? Or even like copper...
Scary that 69CoronetRT did not chime in with precise info on this very similar thread;
Original Battery Size (Group 24 &27) and cap color Green, Yellow or Red?
Was your car a 400 from factory??
Thx..... I did'nt know how to say the above info (which should be obvious, imo) without pigeon-holing myself into the "crybaby" category. Note the avatar, lol.
Don't know what the backwards, upside down B & C mean, but it's a 1969 model year 440, assembled on July 8th. Casting number on side of block should be before that date. (unless thats an "F" not an "E")
62-65 Mopars (on this site) is probably the best place to pose your questions, but please, put the questions up.... you won't do better asking for private advice, IMO, and besides, someone can go private message at any time anyway, so keep that in mind.
Check your snout, and your crank register.... maybe theres a clue there.... entirely possible the two pilot bushings allow the clutch kit to work on additional applications.
Cmon you guys....it clearly has the correct seat spring imprint.... those are very difficult to fake. :poke:
I'd own it no matter if it didnt have a hood lol.... long as the price is right. :drinks:
Street Wedge pan (the RB one) should work great...not plentiful, but can be found. Info from old thread below;
Should look like this, i do believe!
From this thread, note this is an RB, not a B block pan;

Steam clean the motor.... check very carefully to make sure your leak is really the pan. If it is, when you pull the pan clean the mating surfaces very thoroughly and check the pan flanges to make sure nothing is bent at all. .... it doesnt take a lot of torque to seal..... so I like to use...
