RE: numbers matching '64 383 engine?

[Ron Crossley <rcrossley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug -

I know there are others on this list who know much more than I do about such 
matters, but it's my understanding that there's no such thing as a "numbers 
matching" car that old. I seem to remember that numbers were matched later 
in the '60s. I have an almost original '63 that I'm sure hasn't had any 
major components so I can check my belief if I know what numbers should 
match. But I don't think Ma Mopar made any attempt to match anything.

Ron
