Could easily be a '74 225. |

What part of the number do I need to focus on to know the date for sure? First digit or last ones? What are you basing your guess on? |

2806830 is the casting number of an RG block (198 or 225) cast between 1968 and 1975. |

Quote: Just looked at the car. Its a 68 Dart
My '68 Dart has a '67 style RG slant in it...and it is original as far as I have been able to tell. I believe the date of sale on my Dart was January '68, so it could've been built using left-over '67 parts. This has always made me wonder what kind of torque converter my car has. Time will tell...but all I know is that I'm going to pull the engine and measure before I ever order any parts.
The engine has been changed. Numbers on the block behind water pump housing are as follows 06194 24633430-1 Can the exact year be determined from these numbers? I bought the 904 trans too. Not sure of trans year but I like it to be the 68 orignal. |

What is meant by "1967-style" engine? You have 3 freeze plugs instead of 5? How have you checked for engine originality? |

Yep, 3 freeze plugs. I assumed the engine was original based on that everything else in the car looked untouched when I bought it, and there was nothing about an engine replacement in the car's records. It's POSSIBLE the engine had been replaced at one time, but unlikely I think with only 130,000 miles on record and the car being driven constantly through 4 owners before getting to me. I'll get some casting numbers off the block tomorrow out of interest.

Even better: Look for a partial VIN stamping on the block, maybe near the rearmost spark plug or on the edge of the engine side of the bellhousing flange. |
