One last try. Hey guys. I am still wondering if my factory N-Code 383; Cast date: octobre 1970; HP stamped; 4BBL ; HP Manifolds engine (300Horsepower) in my C-Body Plymouth Sport Fury is considered and named as "Super Commando" or not. This site says yes : https://www.automobile-catalog.com/...p_super_commando_383_v8_torqueflite.html BUT i couldn´t confirm it with other sources. It´s actually just about the right air cleaner lid / decal so lets not overrate this whole topic. But maybe somebody knows for sure..... Thanks

I generally don't like that site. Tries to do too much at once, with few if any expertise demonstrated. Feels something other than American too, which doesn't impart confidence. Anyway, my impression is that the Super Commando was the HP engines. Since the 4bbl. 383 was reduced in compression in 1971, and since there was only one 383-4 for the year, I think Plymouth dropped the engine designation. JMHO. But look at this: https://www.npdlink.com/product/dec...r-cleaner-correct/173522/90170?year=1971Is that a 1971 'Cuda 383 air cleaner decal? If it is, then there's your answer.

And all these years I thought a 383HP was a Commando and a 440HP was a Super Commando in Plymouths. Tim

I remember some C bodies that had TNT on the pie pan. Maybe that was earlier. That's Chrysler denomination

70 B body 70 C body 71 the same? Well it seems not... 71 B Plymouth dealer catalog doesn't make mention to the 383 335Hp and no mention to any Commando denomination. So I guess they dropped the names and the HiPo version with it

My 66 New Yorker with the TNT package had the TNT pie pan, on a dual snorkel, that's if my old memory serves me.....
