| Post subject: | Engine ID |
Can you help me identify what year this engine is. I thought I seen a chart somewhere but couldn't find it. Hopefully it is a forged crank engine. Numbers stamped on top edge of block are: 9 225R 1 3 Thanks, Rick |

Rick Articles section. Also quick glance at the water pump Area of the block. Ridges are different on the back for cast and forged. Frank |

Yes Frank, I looked there already. But I only see 3 casting numbers listed under "blocks" and none of mine are similar. My block is a 5 freeze plug block, Drivers side block has- F 530-6 3038 Passenger side has- 6 (clock point at #8) 23 I did not see any casting numbers similar to those listed on that chart. I'll go look again, but I thought the stamping in the top of the block identified years? Thanks, Rick |

Rick, If you don't have tall/large casting numbers on the block you've likely got a cast crank engine. I think the 9 is probably 1979. |

Your probably right Josh. I don't see any large casting numbers. And by the chart it has a 79-80 cylinder head casting. Thanks You, Rick |

since you're on the subject of engine ID... I have a slant that I have identified as a 225 by the casting numbers (2463430) that was castin 1964, but oddly has a upside down 170 cast into the block as well. Just seems odd |

No problem with cast crank motors. I just built one as a new HiPo engine for the '64 Dart. Rodney Hargis won most of his trophies running high 12s with his cast cranker that lasted several thousand passes (10,000?)and at least 5-7 yrs in his Lancer. 1st 225 motor in the 10s was a cast crank. 1979 is in the range of years that Mike Jeffrey likes best for porting an all out head too.
