Hello! 81 Dodge D150 with a 273 V8

It's a 318. That's OK cause they are easier to find parts for!!

PM = Plant - Mound road assembly plant
318 = CID
R = regular fuel

The 2267 should be the build date using the 10,000 day calendar, and 953 should be the 953rd engine built that day.

Someone more knowledgeable will confirm.
Yes, just used the thread in the how to section, great section! Now on to building a sweet street motor now that I have the correct info!
