71 426 hemi block

[Bold & Old]

Can anyone help me decode my 71 hemi bare block that I own.

I was told by the past owner that the block came from a 71 B body car originally.

can anyone verify this?

can anyone here decode the numbers?

The numbers are hard to read because the block was sitting in a mans damp basement for 25 years and is pitted at the bottom.

The bore did cleaned up at .030


Thanks to all who participate in this discussion in advance!

When i owned a 71 Hemi GTX, 4 speed car for 28 years, my engine block also had that casting date.

The partial VIN indicates a 71 car.

The partial VIN indicates a 71 car.

The partial VIN indicates a 71 B body... Lynch Rd...

so far so good..... that verifies what I was told.

Any other information that can be extracted from the numbers?

In fact a 71 Charger R/T.... Or perhaps a Super Bee... No Plymouths made at Lynch Rd in 71..

Thank you Sir......... now can you brake down the partial vin for me that indicates 71 B body Lynch Rd?

Obviously the 1 is 71, not so obvious the A is Lynch Rd... Now if WS23R1A135013 still exists.... Or possibly WM23R1A135013.....

W = Coronet/Charger
S = R/T M= Super Bee
23 = 2 dr hardtop
R = 426 Hemi
1 = 1971
A = Lynch Rd
135013 = sequence number
