LM23H for a Dart...


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

0R190026? Are you sure the R is not a P for premium fuel.

I thought he said the numbers on the block. The 340 blocks I've had over the years had a P up to 1972-3, then R. I must be getting senile.

340 BLOCK EW340P28980380 1969
340 BLOCK FW340P30290485 1970
340 BLOCK FW340P30970517 1970

Those are engine serial numbers on the front of the block.

The 0R 190026 is the engine partial VIN number on the passenger side of the block in this case.

The engine serial number was stamped when the engine assembly was completed.

Later on, when the engine and transmission as a pair were ready to go into a car, the partial VIN for that car was stamped.

Yeah, I forgot about the ones by the pan rail. I never look at those since I'm not a restoration guy. I only need one original 340, and it's in my Barracuda.
