RE: 413 block casting / serial number decode help

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian: no it was not uncommon. Your 413 sat on the shelf for awhile and was probably stamped and installed in a
64 Chrysler. I have a 62 casting 426 Wedge block that was assembled and stamped in Dec of 63 ("V 42") and was probably dropped in a 64 Street Wedge Mopar around Jan-Feb, 1964.> To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> From: hzf9vv@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: 413 block casting / serial number decode help> Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007 09:33:06 -0500> > Thanks to Jim Jablonski, I now own a 1962 413 that I plan to 'freshen'> and install in my 1962 Dart 440 4-door.> > I'm perplexed, however, that the block casting number of 1852029,> which indicates it to be a 1962 413 block, has 'V 41' stamped on the> pad at the left front of the engine.
