Cool, so it is probably a cop car motor out of a 64. It was in a barn when the guy moved in 15 years ago, so hard telling how long it has actually been sitting. The other numbers on the pad are 9 4 so it sounds like it was built on 9-4-63 for a 64 vehicle.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I had a cop car that was V 38 HP. I have pics on other computer, 64 2dr sedan, police car VIN, 383 4bbl, 3spd stick on column. Came from VA state police auction I had one of theses cars from the Va state police just like above. First a police car black-unmarked, then a fire marshals car, then post masters car painted po blue. Big fishing pole on the roof and certified speedo. I put my max wedge in it for a race car in 1973

Just picked up 6 engine from a friend who is moving and one has a casting date of 1963 with V 38 on the pad. It also has HP at the lower right of the pad punched lightly, is there such a thing as an HP 383 in 1963? I would say yes but at that time, the HP designation was used to distinguish a 4bbl assembly from a 2bbl assembly. It would not mean the same thing as 68-70.

Cam and valve springs would be different between a 2 and 4 bbl.

1964 Dodge street wedge engine stamped V42 HP. Wouldn't a V 41 be a 413? Yes
