Quote: Never seen one like that....how about original motor that was never smacked with the VIN? Seen that.
Yes, you could say it was the original motor that was never stamped, but without paperwork, you couldn't say it was original based on heresay. What would you call it then?
Here's my unstamped engine, this is the one from the earlier photo post showing the milling machine marks on the engine VIN pad and it is not stamped
but the EAD 3 28, year (1969) "E", displacement "440", upside down "C" and sideways "B" is stamped into the pad on top, how else would Chrysler know what it was if it was just sitting there?
This was supposedly purchased from a Chrysler/Plymouth dealer's parts department for a "kit car". It's not a marine engine, not a commercial engine, it's an E440 HP (2) 440 engine with 906 heads, a 4-bbl intake manifold, 402 oil pan, forged crank and standard fuel pump....
