RE: numbers matching '64 383 engine?

[Douglas Sutherland <pluckedchickens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply.  

I thought that all those major parts were date stamped before '65.  As long as your drive train pre-dated your car body/chassis you most likely had an original car.  If those parts were made after the body -- they were replaced.

Who in the club can confirm  -- is there such as thing as numbers matching '64 Mopar?
