Here's an over the counter factory HP long block:
Way COOOOOOOOOL!!! Or is it from a factory car that didn't get a vin stamp???
Just curious as to whether that particular modur was one that you had or ..... ....... Any chance that you were able to disassemble that modur??? The reason I ask is because I/we likewise had one and upon disassembly a few nice peculiarities were noted.
 
Arlo, I haven't taken it apart other than the valve covers and oil pan and took some photos (who me took photos....  ) It does have a windage tray, 402 oil pan and 906 heads and some markings on the pan gasket surface and a part number on the fuel pump.......your engine didn't happen to have a "strange" I.D. tag held on with small nail-rivets on the bellhousing area by chance?

A tag with one nail rivet was over the middle freeze plug on the passenger side on a 69 replacement block I once had. I wonder if this is the standard location or if it varied for different years?

I had a 69 casting f 440 stamped pad,motor,and on the pan rail all is said was U0G it was in a 70 Charger,, so I am guessing some did get stamped...but not sure if it was from factory or dealer....

I wonder if the tag A12 shows is actually on a marine or commercial engine?
What engines were usually sold as commercial engines? Did they sell commercial HP engines with windage trays and 906 heads?

I have seen similar data plates on non-Mopar commercial and military applications.
What about motorhome applications.
Possible, this engine was purchased in '69 from a Chrysler/Plymouth dealer so who knows what part number was used/ordered? The person that bought it wanted a performance 440 (HP) engine for a kit car he built. He used it for about 15k miles then pulled it out and had it stored till the '80's when he gave it to the person I got it from. Pretty sure it's not a marine engine but could be a motorhome but thought they would have the VIN pad at the pan rail stamped too? it could be anything I guess.........??? but for sure it has forged crank, 906 heads, windage tray, 402 pan, 440 intake manifold, '69 vented automotive type valve covers, no marine blue paint anywhere, no engine hoist rings, no direction of turn, and no outdrive
