I have a friend who collects unrestored Mopars. One of the cars he owns came with a 340 long block in a crate directly from the Plymouth dealer. It still had the warranty instructions for the mechanic. In the instructions from Ma Mopar it tells the mechanic to stamp the VIN in the new block. No extra or special markings were discussed. After seeing this I figure that there are a lot of "restamped" blocks done out there that are merely just warranty engines from back in the day.

    Wow, if you could send us a pic of those instructions, that could change the classic car world significantly. Then we can study the type of font used and depth to stamp the blocks....

I will see what I can do.

interesting  info !! would love to hear more about this if you get the chance  :cheers:

I wonder how many dealers actually bothered to stamp.  Flat rate=fix it fast and get to the next one.

Interesting, both the body tag and build sheet show C21 Buddy Seat but it appears to have a C16 center console.  Any guesses why?

Ghoste

Swapped out during the restoration.

Recently the matching motor appeared on Facebook. The person was trying to reunite the car with it. Not sure what the outcome will be as the car is supposed to have a matching #s block already in it.

Mopar Nut

The car is listed near me today.
