I'm helping a guy sell his '69 Dart GTS Big Block 383 magnum car and today when I was inspecting it I found that it has a matching engine and transmission in it, but out of another '69 Dart GTS big block 383 magnum car!! The owner told me it wasn't numbers matching but he didn't know this. I am going to contact the GTS site to see if the car this engine and trans belongs to is still around. If so, he could be the new buyer of this car!


Thanks,
Eric

Can you post the VIN numbers?


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I'm not assuming anything, it's just a possibility and that's not even the point. It would be interesting to know if the other car still exists and why was the engine and trans pulled to go into this car. And where did the original engine and trans go for this car?
The VIN on the engine and trans is LS23H9B***878

The car was a very early car, first couple days of production in Aug of '68. The engine and trans were out of a car built in Jan of '69 in my estimation.
