Would a 413 in a '61 Chrysler 300 have the vin stamped on the engine and where would it be located? Trying to find out if they would have numbers matching engines like the later year cars.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

No such thing as numbers matching in 61. That didn't start till 68.
Yes, true, but there are ways to tell if the engine is the correct type for the car, and assembly date codes can indicate the likelihood (or not) that it came in that particular car.

If the original owner is still alive I don't think I'd trust their memory. 58 years is a long time to forget stuff.
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.

Just checked my G block, the R41 HP is correct on the ID Pad. That means its a G motor. Hopefully the block going in the car soon... Not bad going from memory from the late 1980s...I got the 413 that I had out of a '65 Town and Country that I was given for the motor (car had rust through in the roof). Turned out to be a .030 61 HP in great shape. I tried to sell it and got a call from a guy with a '61 G with no motor. He didn't even want to bother to come look at it (I was asking $500 in the late 1980s). I wound up trading it to a buddy of mine for a core 440. It's probably still sitting in the same place in San Jose. The T&C went to the demo derby...

I was over at the engine shop the other day and they had an L350 going together. I had never seen one of them. Dual quad intake and all. I had an intake for one of them back in the early '80s. I think I ended up getting $80 out of it and thought I'd hit the lottery.
