Hey Guys,
I bought a 1970 Satellite RR tribute car last year from a supposedly reputable shop. I was told it was a 383 making 400+ HP and nearly 500 lb/ft torque. Just had it dynoed by a local reputable mopar shop and it made 330HP after some basic tuning.
The guy says he doesn't think it's a 383. Says it looks more like a 400 to him based on external casting marks of the block. He said the serial numbers were ground off so he couldn't tell for sure.
I looked on the bottom left passenger side of block just above oil pan and found 6A164793 stamped there. I don't see any other numbers elsewhere on the block. Is there any way to figure out what this block is from? Just worried I'm the victim of fraud...
