I had a '68 New Yorker once that I traded to a friend. He pulled the engine for a '68 Charger he was working on. Now, I'm not familiar with 1968 engine stampings, but he told me the engine was stamped to be a TNT/Magnum engine, but that letter was crossed out and the correct letter for the 350-horse 440 followed.

Is your Charger a pre-Jan. '69 car with the full VIN# stamped on it? & you're saying it has XP29F9B 123456 stamped on a 383 block & your VIN# is XP29H9B 123456? I've seen a 440 block with the same deal - GOT a pic? I think I have a pic of the 440, I'll see if I can find it. (bet they're same day, on the line)

The 413 in my 64 300 was stamped T for 63, then over stamped with a V for 64. Everything about the engine was 63, 4 bolt valve covers, casting numbers, etc.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

on my 1972 Cuda 340 - the vin plate is coded BS23G4xxxxx, while it should be BS23H4xxxxx vin says it's a 318 while i have the original 340 in it, build sheet also denotes BS23G but all the specs point to the 340 and the vin numbers agree on the block
What's the fender tag say?

Why 1974 ?
The 4 in that position is the model year, 1974.
But - The VIN you listed - "BS23H4xxxxx" is two digits short. So, what is the whole thing?
