Re: [Chrysler300] Value of correct date block

1. Here’s another option to consider. A car with the wrong date code block casting number might be a glitch. But what if you had that car all finished, but also had a spare block with the correct date code to go with it?

If you went with the block you have, you’d be on a path to complete your project. You could then, at your leisure, be watching for a correct date code block.

You might decide to build up second engine and swap it or just hang on to the block in the vent you were going to sell the car.

2. The “matching numbers “ thing can get crazy. I belong to a Jaguar forum. It was discovered that two members in different states had the same commission number (English car). There is one number stamped on the front "picture frames" and the same number is on a welded on label in the boot (trunk). The numbers on the picture frames were different and how they were registered, but one car had the other cars boot number. The car whose number was misplaced had no number in the secret boot location.

When I restored one of my Jaguars, I needed to install a later version window frame part to accept a modern electric fan. That part is where the commission number in front is metal stamped. My new window frame came in and I correctly stamped it using my commission number. I sold my old window frame part, also with my same commission number stamped, to a man in Connecticutt. I have always wondered what he did when he registered his car.

I can't speak for others, but I can tell you that my experience with selling a few G's, the first thing a knowledgeable buyer wants to know, is if the engine is correct to the car. If it isn't, the price it commands is compromised, and the potential interest is reduced.
