Help Identifying this Chrysler Engine

I thought maybe it was a marine application engine. Anyone know for sure? Any idea what year roughly? thanks!

Yes it's marine, here is a bigger pic of it.

Looks like a 318 poly head.

never seen a smallblock with the distributor up front

Yep, poly marine application running two Carter YH side draft carbs - in an interesting configuration I will add. Ford Y block is the other engine I have seen running a similar carb setup.

Distributor is in the same place. Just the engine is flipped around for the V drive.

Yup....marine and industrial engines make you do a double take sometimes lol

Check out this months Mopar Collectors Guide...
You know the issue because after reading it you'll get depressed...NICE Hemi cars in it...
Especially "Janice Sutherland" and her original 1970 Hemi Superbird she bought brand new... (She has an ooriginal, bought brand new 66 satellite HEMI too)



They have an article about a Boat... (Actually 2 boats are in the mag this month)

But: One is a vintage 1965 WITH an original "Early Build date 65 HEMI"
Its documented as one of the first Hemis built in 65!

Holy Cow...
