HI!
The engine in my -64 valiant has been replaced, it´s still a 225" but i would like to know more.

On top of the block ( over nr 1 sparkplugg)it´s says: I 225 R 1203 E
Under the intake manifold ( in the casting) it´s says:
330-3
6 16 81 IF

I live in Sweden and english is not really my language
so i apologize for any misspellings

Best regards
Mrroth71

The block is light blue/ almost grey
The head is blue and the valve cover black .
I don´t know if the colour is a hint of the production year.

Best regards

Sounds like a later cast crank engine. (5 core plugs in the side)
See this article for more info:

Hi!
Yes, you are right, i have 5 core plugs.
but i still don´t know the year of the engine.

My guess is that the numbers 6 16 81 in the casting under the intake manifold means 16 june 1981, but it´s only a guess.
