Help finding casting date on 318
Hello,
I am helping my neighbor with his 73 scamp 318. There are no casting numbers like I am used to seeing on the rest of my small blocks. There is a 4 digit code that says 1343 next to the casting numbers.
The best I can tell the assembly stamping indicates a 1973 block built in the Mound Road assembly plant the the 10,000 calendar day isn’t making sense. I do not see any VIN stampings below the passenger side motor mount either.
Any help is appreciated.
Build sequential numbers are:
3M318R C7052308
