Help with 64 Fury Engine Block Stamp

[Stefan Loesser]

Hello everybody,

does anyone can help me with decoding the engine stampe showing at the picture. I think it means V=1964 and 41 is for 413cui engine. But i'm not really sure. And HP is for high perfomance? And what about the rest?
Maybe here are some experts who can help me? It´s very difficult to find any information here in germany....

Thanks guys and have a great day!!!

Check the casting on the side.. but it's likely that the 1 and the 31 are "Jan 31". Unless there are additional markings under the spark plug wires we can't see. Sometimes the 3 number day date is below the year, in this case "V", as opposed to next to it.

'64 Plymouth Fury never came with factory-installed 413. The only cars using a 413 in 1964 were Chrysler and Imperial. These motors were normally rated at 340 h.p. However, there was an optional 413 that was rated at 360 h.p. in these cars. Likely a better cam and dual exhaust, and the block stamped HP.

I agree with Dave6T4.

Thank you for your answers. The problem is that the previous owner died and a friend of his sold the car. Unfortunately there is no information, no original papers for the car, only the German registration, and I'm currently trying to find out which engine it is. And therefore are no one who can say whether this is still the original engine or whether something has been rebuilt over the years.

Its not the original engine since a 413 engine was not available in a 1964 Plymouth Fury.

Thanks again for the answers

So ist Looks Like the original engine was replaced by a 413cui Engine, right?
Does my First Picture Shows a 413 engine?

Your first picture shows a 1964 413 engine built on Jan. 31st 1964. As noted above it is not original to your car, if your car is a 1964 fury.

Alright thank you.
And is HP for high Performance? If so, how much HP does this engine have normaly?
German Registration says the Car have 200kw, thats Something around 200hp. But for me that seems a little Low

1963-1965

4-barrel carb

360 hp (268 kW) at 4600 rpm

495 lb⋅ft (671 N⋅m) at 2800 rpm

Looks like a 1964 413 HP block...most likely from a 64 300 Chrysler....bonus if it has solid lifter cam and adjustable rockers

There is a serial number stamped into the block above the oil pan rail...left side I believe. That would identify the original vehicle.

I'm of the opinion of " never say never" when it comes to options on these older Mopars. Plenty of evidence that special order options could be had with the proper order codes. Look at the Mr. Norm cars.

Some dealers would also install non standard engines for customers before the car was delivered to the original customer.

Mopar did not start stamping blocks in that location until mid 1968.

Makes sense since the new federal VIN rules didn't become mandatory until '69 as I recall.
