I have the following #'s off of the block.

Vin pad (side of block) 1C198603

Upper passengers side block. 10-14-70 = October,14,1970
Just under that # 2536430-9 = 440-1966-1972
And on the front of the motor near the distributor on the pad (G 440)

I'm unable to find info on the (G 440) and the 1C198603 I think the "C" in the last half of the VIN pad's number would mean Jefferson MI,plant
What else is there to know from these numbers? How do I find out what the motor is from??
Does the (G440) = 1971? Thank's
 
Yes, G series = 1971
The "1" in the partial VIN also tells us it was out of a 71 model car.
Yes, "C" in the VIN means Jefferson plant and since Jefferson built only full size Chryslers/Imperials, it's out of a C body Chrysler or Imperial
 
Very nice,thank's very much :)
I did also find an "A" up side down on the pad near the distributor.Is it true that the 'A' , should indicate .020 oversize cylinder bore? Would that have been done at Jefferson?
