K is 350 hp 440 used in C bobies, L is 375 hp 440 (Magnum) J = 426 H = 383 hi performance The R/T came stock with a 440 engine and the only option was the 426 Hemi. According to my 68 manual the Coronet 500 would be the 318 engine. However as previously stated no 318 engine with the 4 speed. You are right! I copied the info from a 68 Chrysler Service Manual on CD and it listed them as I posted. I should have caught that since my car has an L.

At this time the info is a 68 coronet w/4 speed and a big engine. I was wondering without knowing if its an R/T or 500 was it possible to have a 4 speed behind any type of motor for that year? If you decide to pass on it, I sure would like to have a shot at it.

(nor the Duster for that matter) Maybe it is because I have owned a '68 Coronet (and currently own a Duster 340) with a regular hood. Please keep it a 500! I think they are getting rarer by the day with everyone cloning them. I would be proud to drive a restored 500 anyday!
