I had the intake off this engine given to me recently, type of intake isn't a big challenge, but I bet you can't guess what the year and CID of the engine is!

How about a '66 383 with 516 heads out of a C body

It's an RB intake.

Raised deck 383?

I can't quite make out the casting numer

That thing got a hemi in it?

392 Hemi

So far there's an answer that's close.

1959 383

1962 361cid

That chain is too shiney to be original equipment.

Ok, now I'll make it easy. There are a couple very close (but incomplete) guesses, the first one who NAILS IT wins!

is 58 413 rb

59 383 RB is my guess.
I wouldn't think it could be 413 car engine....I thought they all had 4 BBL's.

late 50's, early 60's 383-2V Red Ram or Gold Lion from Imperial, big Chrysler??....
I have a pair of those valve covers somewhere with the Lion

Winner!

Couple close guesses but 1959 383 RB is the most correct!

The RB 383 engine was the very first 383 cubic inch Chrysler engine ever offered, as well as the first raised deck big block wedge engine. The same engine was also offered in 1960.

The 1959 Chrysler 383 2BBL engine was the base engine in a 1959 Chrysler, it was rated at 305HP, the 383 RB 4 Barrel, rated at 325HP, was optional. The same engines were available in the Desoto Adventurer which offered a 350HP dual 4 barrel version. Dodge had 383 RB's as well, thier 4 barrel version was rated at 320HP.

Here's a restored 59 2 barrel version in a Chrysler Windsor

You can send me the prize in the mail Scott!
