... I knew one 440 car that was out of warranty and he bought a short block though parts, can that be called a warranty block?
... Sounds like you're just nit picking.
No that would not be a WARRANTY block, someone has to nitpick otherwise my repainted once 57k mile dart is still a survivor ...
As far as the rebuilt with the number ground off , whose warranty stock , the Dealer or Chrysler ??? Either way I want to see paperwork backing up a warranty replacement claim ...
more nitpicking ???

Regarding the "warranty" vs "over the counter block" difference, it is my understanding that because all the extra motors Chrysler built were shipped to their depots, any kind of part you ordered "over the counter", short block's included, would be considered just that, an over the counter item and it would come from the depot to the dealership for you to pick up.
If it was a "warranty' block it is no different, would come from the same depot, assuming the dealer was warrantying a motor that needed replacing and the dealer would install it under warranty.
After a number of years or a period of time, like all parts at a Chrysler depot if they were deemed a 'slow moving part' the parts specifier would arrange for them to be scrapped, to make room on the shelves for more current parts. They would then take the parts off the books and out of the system, NS-1.
I know of a bus load, sitting since the late 70's, of old 60's 383's, 361's, 273's...any 340 and 440's are long gone.
Everything was purchased from the Chrysler depot in Mississauga, Canada when Chrysler scrapped them, or was supposed to do so..
They are all short blocks, had the blue riveted blue tag and accompanying paperwork.

a bit of other paperwork found with the short block...move order, factory OK'd, and blue part numbered tag , in this case a 273.
I believe all this info would have, or should have come with a shortblock, be it one you ordered 'over the counter', or one Chrysler supplied under warranty as a 'warranty block'.

Very informative, shop Forman handled all of the paperwork, we just installed them. I think all the fuss is about how much my car is worth $$$$ and bragging rights.Barrett Jackson ruined the hobby with all the dreams of inflated prices of "numbers"matching cars. Hey it's been 40 plus years who knows whats been changed, heck Jackson did it with his 71 Hemi cuda, he "found" his # matching engine in England
