426 Hemi Block I.D. - 06/22/12 02:50 PM

I came across a hemi block casting number 2468330-M, with a casting date of 5A26. It had a H 474 on the front pad, no VIN on the lower pad. and I noticed a "P" and a "T" stamped near the upper pad but not on it can anyone give me more info on the block year? What the casting numbers mean? Any other info? Possible WIW (I know wrong section)....

It's a Mopar Performance block, possibly cast in 2006.
You can buy one from Mancini for $2800.

When Chrysler started making the blocks again (had to build new molds and everything) they put the letter "M" behind the casting number to identify the blocks as MP and not a block from back in the day.

Someone else will be able to give you more details on this particular block.

You are partially right, you cannot buy one from anyone brand new anymore. These are no longer in production since World products began casting blocks for Mopar.

Are they Siamese cylinders? Is it a good block? In comparison to a World block or factory 66-71 hemi block.

A google search turned up this, it is why I said you could buy one from Mancini. Maybe it's a cached file and doesn't reflect reality, but take a look and see for yorself.

I seem to remember some casting quality issues with the pre-World blocks, that's why they switched. If it weighs 325# it's a World block.

Someone else will tell you more.
