that 8E number is the last portion of the VIN of the car it came out of

Looks like an early '68 LA built car.

Thanks can you tell what body style it came out of that way I will no where to post it on B Body are E Body hopefully someone is looking for that Block.

I'd say B body only....... GTX, R/T, or Charger R/T........no E bodies until 70

anyone know if they ever put HP motors in any special C bodies? would be a rare find if they did

I think they may have put them in GT Sport Furys. but I dont think that was till 70. 4-speed, 440 6-packs.

300's perhaps.

I own a 67' Newport with the factory 440 HP engine. The option was available on all C body cars 67' Up.

What cars did they build in LA in 68? That would narrow down what car it could have come out of.
