If you search on 030-11 you will find some information, as far as I can tell it should be somewhere between 1967-1969 possibly. If you have the smaller pilot at the end of the crank (1.962") it's a 1967, if it has the larger pilot (2.157") it is a 68-69 (maybe) Unless of course the crank has been replaced. |

Welcome aboard 1966 wagon. This is a good project, locating, recording, and decode ing the various casting numbers found on different parts of your car. This information will become helpful if at some point you need a little guidance on a project. Additionally may I suggest that you acquire a copy of the “Factory Service Manual†for your car. It will be the best tool that you can have on hand, and can be found on the net from various venders, so shop around. Take a look at this MOPAR Decoding [url=http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=31] page[/url], I think it will help. [quote]There are two number castings on the side of the engine, 030-11 and 1806:[/quote] The numbers you have provided don’t appear to be a casting numbers. The raised seven digit number followed by a dash will be found under the first three freeze plugs, and are approximately 5/8th inches tall. Numbers stamped in the block’s deck along its right front edge, directly above the fuel pump, describe engine displacement, and baring information, and are generally buried under a layer of crud. These numbers sometimes have been removed if the block has been machined during a rebuild. |

It sounds like a later "cast crank" block. Does the block have 5 freeze plugs and does the head have spark plug tubes? DD |

Seriously thanks for answering! I've been trying to find info on it for like two days. Thanks to lancer61 i will have to check the crank thing. to wjajr thanks, the engine i actually got for free off of craigslist, which is why i don't know too much about the engine itself. There are no seven digit numbers anywhere on the either side of the engine just the ones i have posted. And to Doc thanks also, the block has 5 freeze plugs and no spark tubes. |
