Found a good deal today.

F383HP. Complete. Voodoo cam and a stock cam. Amazing shape. 906 heads. Block is VIN stamped OG125937 so I have no idea what that signifies. Only $300 with the stand. Pretty happy about this little Christmas miracle.

0 = 1970
G = St Louis Where they built B bodies Probably a Road runner or a Super Bee... Maybe a Charger...
125937 Last 6 of the VIN

$300 is a score..

Yeah I knew that stuff but for some reason I have other blocks that have way more info. Like this one. Didn't understand why it doesn't have full info like this XP block I am currently running did. Always more to learn I guess. This project should turn out good and for a lot less than I was previously budgeting hopefully.

Full VIN is 69 only.... Once Chrysler figured out the feds would let them do less less became the norm...

My Chargers, in fact ALL 1970 year model Chargers were built at St Louis. I didn't know that other B bodies were also built there.

Yes, my ‘70 Rosa Runner is a St Louis car. I think all b-body convertibles are built in St Louis

My fifth GTX was built there. The other six were from Lynch Road. No broadcast sheet with the St. Louis car, was wondering if that was common with that plant.

I'm sorry...you over paid, tell you what, I'll give you $301 to help a guy out

Nice. Those valve-covers are worth 2/3 of what ya paid.

So what's the conventional wisdom here? A 440 Source Stroker kit?

 

[6PKRTSE]

Nothing wrong with a 383. I like a good short deck big block myself. Many people turn their nose up at them as if they were a 305 compared to a 350 like the Chevy weenies do. I do prefer a 440 any day, but I do own a few 383 cars and have several 383/400 engines.

My 68 X is from the St Louis plant and it has a broadcast sheet.
