Engine stamping decode help
« on: June 13, 2007 - 03:11:14 PM »
Ok, I searched the previous threads for this, but the number I have doesn't make since.

The Stamping on the top pad shows :

E 440
9-20

Which makes since with regards to the build date of my Challenger, but stampings on the left pad reads:

CP45K9C124775

I thought is was supposed to just be the VIN, so I would expect 0B177595   I bought the car in 78 and would have thought is was the original engine but ...
1970 Triple Black Challenger R/T  440 Six Pack - 4 Speed - 3.55 Dana
Kurt - SE Michigan

Looks like it came out of a 69 Chrysler Town and Country according to the first two digits.
