I have a complete 340 engine from a 71 Challenger and would like to know what information can be told by these numbers.

At the front of the block
C OR GM 340P 35210057

Casting date 1 14 71
On oil pan rail 1B331277

Also, what is the latest known VIN of a 71 340 shaker Challenger.

Thanks
Dan

G = 1971
M = Mound Rd engine plant
340 = cu.in.
P = premium fuel
3521 = March 19, 1971 assembly date
0057 = 57th engine assembled that day

1-14-71 = Casting date
1B331277 = partial VIN#

Was the block originally blue?

There is one with a 610 SPD (JH23H1B42xxxx) on Travis' Challenger SHAKER Registry.

The registry also shows a blue on blue 340 4-spd car 322 SPD (JH23H1B33xxxx) does thhis sound like the car your engine is out of?
