Re: [Chrysler300] Engine ID and year

In 1960 the engine did not have a special # for the 300. The pad next to the distributor will have P 41 plus a build date. The P is for 1960, and the 41 is for 413. All the 60 413’s were stamped this way. The engine should have been built before the car was, within a few months I think.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Engine ID and year

 

 

Hello Folks--I am trying to determine if the engine  in my 300 F (convertible) is original.  Does anyone know how to tell that?  It is currently out of the car, which is undergoing a complete restoration.  It is a long ram motor, but beyond that I'm not sure what it is.

 

I'm assuming there are numbers on the engine somewhere, but I haven't been able to find them, so I would really appreciate knowing exactly where to look, and how to interpret them once I do find them. 

 

If the engine turns out to be not original, is there a way to determine what year/car it would likely have been out of? 

 

I tried searching the list server because I'm sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't seem to find anything specific enough to help.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
