What year did Mopar start stamping HP on blocks?


I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

Yeah, that's why I'm asking, I have a 66 383 block with HP stamping along with a P that I suspect means premium fuel.

My 1965 Sport Fury 426 was stamped HP but in a much larger font than later years. THIS IS NOT MY CAR, but it is very close to what I had.

The P did mean premium fuel.

I think at one point chrysler had 2 4bbl 383's a 290 or 300HP and what I'm googling was a 325 HP ... in 68 and 69 the 2 383 4bbls were 300 and 335 ... they only put HP on the higher HP engine . I had a 68 Sport Satellite 'vert that was a 330HP 4 bbl car , original numbers engine , no HP on the pad , but it did have the P for premium fuel as it had the same compression ratio as the 335HP road runner engine.


running up my post count some more .

All the 1963 Dodge and Plymouth productions cars that came with the 426 C.I. motors were all Max Wedges, either 415 HP or 425 HP. All the 426 race blocks I've seen, both 1963 and 1964, had a lot larger numbers stamp on them as already said up
1964 was the first year of those weak ass 426 street wedges down


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

My 63 engine had 426 TMPHC iirr but really there’s no difference in any block from HC to non HC, just what’s put inside
