What is pad ID explanation for WT

Purchased a 69 coronet 440 looking for a 440 engine I located one in a 66 chrysler 300 it had a pad # WT 440 1 22 I know the WT means water tested but is this good or bad or otherwise?

Hi there dcmason69, welcome! :wav:

There's nothing wrong with the WT code (you're right, it stands for 'water tested'), some have it and sometimes they weren't stamped. I thought they were more common on 426 hemi blocks, maybe I'm wrong. Any other stampings on the pad? Here is a list of what could be on there:

Thank you photon 440 i was hoping that i was to hear that for an answer, thinking that for quality checks that the plant may random test a block during a production run as part of doing a Q C check.
Being a new member i appreciate all the help i have received and the web site you mentioned for the info is also one that i have seen also but thank you.
