1970 B body Hemi.

Is that 207901?

You could take a piece of paper and a pencil and shade in the paper to see the number.

Looks like 0G217901 to me... Clearly it's 0G21 9 1   

so the first 0 makes it 1970
the G makes it St Louis  which produced B bodies

The pencil shading trick didn't really produce any results.  My wife is a professional photographer, so I got her super macro lens and took these pictures of the characters in question.

The second last digit is a 0

What is the digit before the 9??  It looks to go vertical but can't be a 1 judging from the other 1. I would think a 7 would be more slanted??

I vote 217961 or 217981...

Hey it kinda actually looks like a "4"

214901?

[roadman5312]

                       211901            third digit to straight to be a 7.

The '1' has a base... that one does not... a 4 is a possibility, but the cross is pretty low to not strike any shadow on that stamping, that is why I figure a 7. Look at page two at the example block stamping provided... it has a 7 on it, and shape is vertical for a good bit, like the number in question..

I sent the pictures to some Mopar buddies and most say it's a 7.

Here are some of the other parts I was able to get.

Nice! Better than the lotto..

I am planning on building the Hemi up.  Does anyone know a good reputable machine shop in North Florida that could be trusted to do the job?

One suggestion, if you have plans to run the Tunnel Ram lose that single 4bbl top & find a dual 4bbl top, the single is well know for tuning issues....
