383 block ID

[Jim Milburn]

Hello folks
Just tore down my 383. Can anyone help with block numbers?

 

[33 IMP]

Looks to me like a 68 casting, put in a 69 c-body (fury,monaco,chrysler) in the Newark Delaware plant. 12th casting core revision for that casting number.

The Vin above the pan rail shows 9F1xxxxx, (if I'm seeing that right) so 9 for 69 car, F is the Newark Delaware plant that only built big cars in 69, 100000 would have been first off the line, so, relatively early 69 big car assembly with a late 68 casted block.
Looks like the engine was assembled Oct 16, 68. (10. 16 on the engine pad)

Looks good. Know it is a bare to get them out and tore down. Hope it will build out for you. Blue.

Thanks. Just pulled it out of my 69 Road runner. Going to do a mild build
