She runs So after fiddling around a bit, turns out I was a tooth off on the timing set. Pulled the cover off, re did the timing, put new points and a newer coil on, and she fired Of course we had previously pulled the plugs, oiled the cylinders, and hand cranked her over a few times. She fired up, and was firing on all 6 cylinders. There was a light thump/tap that my buddy says could be a main. NO smoke though So now I am going to buy stuff to finish the front of the motor (water pump, thermostat and housing, belts/hoses) reason being, is now it'll be able to be moved around the shop under its own power assuming the trans is any good. But I have a lead on a 225 that supposedly runs great and come with a working 904 that's going to get gone through and dropped in. But for now, it runs for the first time in 10+ years

Definately is a 170...but what does the DW stand for?

W - Windsor engine assembly plant
170 - 170 CU displacement
2239 - Engine final assembly date from the 10,000 day calendar - Sept 14, 1967 (1968 model year)

Cool. Thanks
Now, would this motor be original to the car? Hood, fender, and some interior were from a 68 or 69. Could they have put the motor in there too?

Since the car is a 1967 model then yes, someone swapped the engine.
I figured as much. Well, since its not original, might as well get that 225 and drop her in. Just gotta get this car going good enough to move around the shop, and if code enforcement comes along, at least it starts.
I still hear a 440 calling my name for this car, but not the intentions I have for this car haha
