The Casting Numbers on The Block are equal to a Surname of Davis, Hernandez, O'Steen or Stalsby.
Look for a machined pad on the front right of the block ( the right is the same side the Generator/ Altermator is on ).
It will have a Alphabetic Stamp and at least two numbers ( aka S17 or S22 from The 1962 Plymouth Factory Service Manual ).

| its a strange block, raised castings on drivers side read 030-6, and then 0226, not the typical 8? number casting that u would be able to identify the block, on the pad, under the head, on the pasenger side, it reads a follows 6 225 T 2 6 7 , theres an old post on slant 6.org, where a guy has the same block, but nobody theres has an answer, could it be an industrial block,mexican made block, a factory replacement block, bus/truck/tractor/ the car its in is a 60 savoy 2 door built in los angel, cal, i know its not the correct block, i know it was mad after 67 , just trying to find out what, where and when its a puzzler, this is the block from the slant 6 club, same as mine

6 225 T 2 6 7
I'll take a stab at it.
6= 1966
225= Displacement
T= Built at the Trenton engine plant
2 6= Build date February 6, 1966
7= ? This is usually either a 1 or a 2 to denote what shift it was built on.

| close, but i dont think they made a 5 hole slant 6 in 66, i think the 5 hole began in 68, maybe it was military, maybe it spent some time over in country, i guess we"ll never know . thanks |

1966 would be the letter "B", but in the 1970's (1974-1978?) Chrysler also used the last number of the model year. Thus "6" would be 1976 (letter "M").
The plant code usually was placed after the model year code, while the letters after the engine size were for variations on the engine (low compression, high compression, regular fuel, truck, size of bearings, etc.)
After that usually two groups of four numbers were stamped into the pad. One group was for the date the engine was assembled, based on the 10,000 day calendar, and the other the daily sequential production number which started at 0001.

That's true of the engine serial number which is unique to one engine but the data pad numbers are more typical of those on the OP, could be any one of dozens of engines.
You're correct about the year/plant codes...the example in the OP is a '76 not a '66 and is truck rather than Trenton which would be elsewhere in the sequence. So the stamping would decode:
6 225 T 2 6 7
6= 1976
225= Displacement
T= Truck
2 6= Build date February 6, 1976
7= ? |

The system with the model year code, engine size, date and (sometimes) shift was used starting 1960 (1966 on Canadian-built engines)
The engine serial number system I was working with was adopted for the 1968 model year. That number was stamped on the block of the slant six engnie just below the #1 spark plug. Can be hard to read due to the alternator. Both engine number types were stamped in the same locations, so you would find one or the other.
The 2 6 7 sequence is probably missing a few digits.
On the slant six, the partial VIN was stamped on the engine block just below #6 spark plug.

| very good, that solves the puzzle, truck/car 225 same thing, no other internal diff, correct, it sure does pull hard off the line compared to my date correct 61 225, probably rear gear ratio has a lot to do with that, thanks again |

The 2 6 7 sequence is probably missing a few digits.
If the OP is correct and the 2 6 7 follows directly behind the T and is, as you believe, the build date based on the 10,000 day calendar, 267X would be in mid-November 1968 and 5 digits would have to be missing.
On the slant six, the partial VIN was stamped on the engine block just below #6 spark plug.
And the build data would be stamped below #1...since the OP only stated "under the head, on the pasenger (sic) side" more info is needed. (or a pic) |
