Good for you. You're on your way to earning that monicker.

Yea what's the vin i'd swap my superbee engine for #'s matching engine and or trans.

If you guys are talking about the VIN on the car, I'm afraid it is long gone. Got the motor from a neighbor that took it out after the body rusted away. NY winters!! I can post the numbers on the block tomorrow if that's what you want.

Thanks for looking for us,Back in the day a lot of RR`s was either wrecked and motors pulled and replace in another RR or any vehicle early on in life as we run these cars HARD.

You did get what you think you got.

CASTING # C.I.D. YEAR GROUP
2120229 361 B (Industrial)
2205712 361 1958-66 B
2468130 383 1959-71 B

3698630 400 1973-78 B
4006530-400-12 400 1976-78 B


BIG BLOCK: Locating the I.D. pad on big blocks is the easiest way to distinguish a "B" engine from an "RB" engine. On "B" engines the I.D. pad is located on the passenger's side of the engine just below the cylinder head next to the distributor base; on "RB" or Hemi engines the I.D. pad is located on top of the block directly in front of the the intake manifold valley pan, next to the distributor base toward the driver's side.

What does it say on the ID pad?
