Re: [FWDLK] 350 Block Questions

[eddee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

HI DAN

No bearing caps???

That is NG

You will have to get some from a 361 or 383 and have the block align bored to make it useable.

The 350 was one year only---1958

It was put in the GOLDEN COMMANDO PLYMOUTH--(could be ANY MODEL!!)

It was also used in MOSTLY the 2bbl version in base DESOTOS and MOSTLY a 4bbl version for DODGE and DODGE station wagons

I have 2 GOLDEN COMMANDO PLYMOUTH blocks,,,both are casting # of 1737629

That does not mean you dont have a 350.

There may have been more than one casting time and place for the 350.

The 361s had about 5 different casting numers throughout the years.

On the front pad of the block,,,along with the sn,,,should be what it was used for

ie: L-350 would be for the plymouth

Is your block UNUSED? Did you measure the bore???

HAVE FUN

  Today I picked up a 350 block from a fellow in  Everett, WA.

It's just a bare block -- no crank, bearing caps,  heads, etc.

 

Can you guys help me verify that it's the real  deal?

Here are the numbers on the block:

 

casting no. 1461416

date    7-15

 

no. on pad at front  5562119057

Is this the VIN from the car it came from? If so,  what does it decode to?

 

Lastly, other than the 58 Fury, which other cars  could have had 350s in them?

 

Thanks for any help.
