Re: [Chrysler300] Torqueflite for a 392

Here's the text from George's e-mail to me regarding my first inquiry to him about this transmission thought to be from a 300-C by its owner:
 
Hey, John;  The number he is giving you is a casting number [1736413-8] that is on the left side of the tranny. All '56 late up thru early '59 C.I. T-Fs will have that casting number. The actual part number is stamped on the right bottom edge of  the housing, on a machined off area, above the pan. That number should be 1854123 for a 300.  1736413-8, (8)says that the housing was cast at the plant during the 8th week of the year.  The other numbers that are stamped on that area, is the serial number of the tranny that would be used for warranty purposes in case of failure during new car warranty period.
 
So maybe you DO have a few letter car transmissions!

I sit here ponderin a little factum: when I first learned there were 
specific numbers associated with the 300 trannys, and it was located 
outside the tranny on the case I visited the little pile of CI 
torqufiltes in my gayrauge. Nun of them had the number mentioned so I 
thought to myself, rats over the years these cars had their trannys 
replaced instead of repaired. Course I was looking at cast numbers NOT 
Stamped. IS this the case, I should be looking for a Stamped number 
somewhere on the case???

(sitting here in the heat thinking just maybe there is a little sun 
shining on me maybe)
