Archived from groups: rec>autos>makers>chrysler (more info?)
My nephew is rebuilding a 1974 Plymouth Scamp. My aunt was original
owner. She babied the car but had the misfortune of spinning a rod
bearing at 35,000 miles when the car was 7 years old. The dealer (a
reputable one) replaced the engine with a junk yard one since she did
not have the money for a new one.

My question is where do we locate the engine number and which of the
digits identifies the year of the engine?

Yes. We need to know if it is a 6 or a V-8. On small block V-8's, the
ID is located on the front of the block, just below the right cylinder
head. On slant sixes, I believe that it is located on the boss where
the distributor is mounted. There may be more info available at
allpar.com.

There should be a way to decipher the casting number to obtain the
month and year that it was cast.
