I'll check my other engines that I can get to and post some pics.


The hemi motor in my 68 RR came from a 69 RR. No idea of the car's SPD the translated date on the bottom rail is 9 Sept 68. The block was cast on 6-10-68. The side pad is stamped with a partial vin - "9A254886"
I posted this number some time ago in the lost and found section but nothing so far.
I had to do a double take on the earlier picture posted with the 68 stamping. That one was "8A287500" mine would be "580" I really had to look close and blow the picture up to see if the 0 might have possible been a 8...but it sure looks like a 0...
Still looking...

the FULL VIN stampings are from the beginning of the model year until some time in January 1969 (all Charger 500s = FULL VIN & all Charger Daytonas = partial VIN)

got pics? scope


My March 69 built charger has full VIN on it.

I stand corrected guys, I must have been confusing the May built Road Runner's engine with one of the other 69s I have. It does not have the full VIN stamped on the engine or transmission, just the last 8. Sorry for the confusion, too many cars and projects rolling around in my head!

You sure about that? Normally I’d say H=1972 and T=Trenton plant...but 426?

Take a look here and see what block casting number you have.

So you don't have this engine, it's on another website? Which one. The most common Mopar site I'm aware of is this one Nick's Garage and I couldn't find it anywhere on that site.

I have a friend with dual SB GMs in his boat and I believe one runs opposite to the other. So did Chrysler do the same when it came to running two Hemis in a boat. I know the Blown 426 I have from the boat runs like the way as a Car motor runs.

Not all gear drive RB engines were reverse rotation, I had a 413 from a truck that was gear drive, I still have the cam and gears.
