440 Engine Codes
« on: May 17, 2009 - 09:13:07 PM »
Im just checking to see if the cylinder heads are correct for my 70 Challenger 440 R/T engine.
Casting numbers are 2843906-9 : 10038 : Also stamped on the outside of the casting is X16831.
Can anyone tell me how to decode the numbers ??
Thanks
Brent

For stamped 1970 engine numbers, you can read TSB D70-25-1 (first one in Chapter 25 - 8 pages) at this link;

I do not have a source available for casting numbers.
