Re: IML: 413 engine identification

["Pete Engel" <peter.engel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The V indicates that the engine is a 1964 model year part and the 41 is an
abbreviation for 413.  Sometimes the whole 413 appears but many times it
doesn't.  The same applies to 38 for 383 and 42 for 426W.

The 2 25 indicates that the engine was assembled on February 25 (1964).  If
a "2" appeared after 2 25 it would mean 2nd shift.

For 1965 Chrysler reset the engine ID character and used "A" 
again.

Here's a pic of the 426W in a 65 Dodge Monaco, 8/18 (1964) engine assembly
date.

I could read the stamp on the block. It 
reads:

V    41

2    25

I tried to look up that info in my FSM, Chilton books, and of course the IML

resources. Well, my eyesight must be getting bad but with age, or to many
late 
hours in the shop. I found no  V  41.  Does anyone know what that stands
for? 
It seems so far if I order parts for a 1964 413 I get stuff that fits. Any 
help would be appreciated.
