Motor runs great but I'm in the process of changing out the freeze plugs. While I was under there I snapped a picture of the vin number. Any one know what it came from? 7879560-IMG_3705[1].JPG (58 downloads) 1966 Charger 383 4 speed (Black with Red interior) 1973 Cuda 340 4 speed (Lemontwist) 1972 Corvette

Does anyone know if the "cast crank" 383s were factory built 2bb & 4bbl? Did Chrysler Corp. have "blue" 383 4bbls for the c-bodies or were all the '71 383 4bbl engines "orange"??

The C-body 383 4-bbl motors were blue as far as I know,. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .

I will check the damper in the morning to see if it is in fact for a cast crank. 7881055-Chargersoutside021.jpg (40 downloads) 1966 Charger 383 4 speed (Black with Red interior) 1973 Cuda 340 4 speed (Lemontwist) 1972 Corvette
