Under "Don't Try this at home," I posted the story of getting two blocks out of an impossible spot...with no help. What got me started on this was I've had them for years, knew one was a 383 from a 69 Sport Satellite, and was told the other was a 413 motor. The block number is 1852029. According to my books, it is either a 62 truck or Max Wedge motor. It is turquoise with a turquoise four barrel intake. Everything about this block, (I disassembled it) heads, and intake are super heavy. When I finally got it out, I found the date on the block to be 4-6-64, the block number is 1852029-3, and the numbers on the id boss read A413 which suggests a 1965 413. On the left (I think) front of the block are the capital letters AAQ1 and under them R 1. My research suggests that Plymouth and Dodge didn't put a 413 in passenger cars in 1965 but Chrysler still did in the Chrysler 300. It lists a 413 4-barrel 360 hp version as standard in the L model and optional in the non-letter models. The picture of the motor looks the same as what I have. It would seem I have a motor from a 65 Chrysler. But why would a motor cast in 64 and put in a 65 car have a 62 block casting number? The books list other numbers for 413s and the 185 sequence only for 62. The heads are still on the floor, need cleaned up, and I'm too beat to mess with anything more today. I'll get to them later.
 
The 65 Dodge Monaco was available with single four barrel 413.Since that was the last year I assume they used up whatever was available.

Thanks. My book didn't show that. Not to beat this to death but do you know why a block cast in 64 would have the 1852029 block number from the 62 Wedge? You know, after all this research I'm going to be forced to find a car to put it in. I can't wait.
 
that casting number was used, along with the 22... number till then. Also mopar used up inventory till it was gone. you do have a 65 engine, which was used in Imperials then
 
Chrysler also used them in the New Yorkers. I had a 64 New yorker that had a 413/4bbl with a casting date of 4-1-64 for what it's worth.
 
1852029 was used as a truck engine long after 1962. I had one once with a casting year of 63 and a model year designation of 1964 (V41), including the AAQA and R1 castings. AAQA (or as you see it as AAQ1) in combination with R1 cast below the DS cylinderhead on the front of the engine were typically non-MW engines.

I have also seen a 383 with a 361 casting number and AAQA cast on the front of the engine, currently running in a 69 Coronet.

Even if your 413 were a truck/industrial engine, the bare block has the same layout as the passenger car blocks. I have a 71 G413 2658836 industrial block with a balanced rotating assembly from a 64 413, HP manifolds from a 68 B-body, #346 heads from a 400, etc.
