Engine number

This number is stamped on the pad on the side of pan rail
Block 69 hemi
# 0AI4I468

I'm guessing either a 1970 GTX or Road Runner .

Googled your number and found this. ?

I wonder if it has a #'s matching block? Can't see the owner's ad...

Hmm
Well that makes sense
Story about the motor is it was a street racing engine that the owner from NY brought down to coleman brothers and had built
Then didn't pay the bill
Then some friends of mine got it from Coleman brothers...

Looks like you have the block to the '70 RR that is for sale. Most likely an awkward conversation to follow........

Yep I thought so also

Does anyone recognize the car ?
Or may have some knowledge of the owner?
Not sure on what to do- guess i'll send a message to them
Is that a broker or some sort of car search engine??

Does this look right?

Those numbers have been re stamped. #'s way too crooked.

Yep that's what I thought
Also there are no stamps up on the top in front of the intake??
Would it be an old warranty block?
Casting date I if I remember correctly is 8/5/69 or 5/5/69

The font looks funny, especially the '1' and the '6'.

That pad in the picture looks like it has a miss-stamp on the upper edge in a smaller font.

the looks like a typical hand stamp from the assembly line using the body stamp digits, the same digits with the correct font are on the edge of the machined area

there shouldn't be anything on the top pad except possibly the "WT" or "TW"

what's the "MN426" stamping info below the starter mounting?

Thanks Dan.
Haven't looked there recently - last time I looked at the motor has been years ago. With all the hype about " Barn finds" I was wandering what exactly that motor came out of. That's why I took a quick look at the pad. Is there any other things I can look at to give any clues ?? I'll check it..

Here's the numbers next to starter

Also it seems clear that the '1's are instead 'I's and that does dot make any sense at all. Completely fake!

The stamping "MN":refers the the place where the engines were cast, but right now I can't remember the exact location. Sorry...

"Fake" can be a loose term when it comes to replacement blocks, etc. Dealers were actually allowed to re-stamp the numbers on replacement/warranty blocks/transmissions. Though, most were rarely done.

2947 assembly date shows a final assembly date of August 22nd 1969 which aligns with an early 1970 built car (the 0A VIN tells us its a Lynch Road 1970 production model car VIN). The VIN stamping may look odd but it looks perfectly legitimate to me. I don't see anything wrong with any of those stampings. .02

there is nothing replacement/warranty about this block, this is an "In Plant" fix - P R O D U C T I O N

here's an engine & transmission from a Super Bee from Lynch Rd. 6 months earlier, the middle three numbers on the engine were "RE-STAMPED" with the same characters used for the VIN on the OP's engine

did the OP ever track down the matching Road Runner

Thanks for the last several posts
I've know of the engine for probably about 40 years
It never had any kind of number swapping story that followed it.
I was just curious about what it had came out of and I guess the 70 road runner ?
looks like a match ..

I haven't contacted that guy- don't know if I want the aggravation?
The engine seems to be in very good shape with no cracks or damage anywhere
I was figuring on disassembly and check everything and reassemble and drop into the 65

This is not a perfect world when it comes to engine stampings,casting date is 9-69 !
