I'm looking for some help. I have 2, 273 engine short blocks here from my Dads old '66 Canadian Valiant (same as the American Dodge Dart). They haven't run since '76 and are not in the best of shape. The cylinders are pretty rusted. The only thing in the blocks are the cams. Not sure how I'll get them out yet, but thats something to do later. I'm trying to figure out which one he had in the car. He's had it since '66, second owner. He said it had the Commando 273 in it.
The only differences I can see is that one has a 4 bolt motor mount, and a seating pin on both ends of the block that fit into the holes of the 4 barrell boat anchor intake he gave me. The number on the side of that one is 2806030-273-2. I does have the date on the other side 4-7-67? Not sure how that can be.
The other block has a 3 bolt motor mount on it and the number 2465330-1 and date of 7-15-64.
If they are build dates, neither would be the one. Thought someone could help me identify which one was the commando. He has the dome pistons, black valve covers from it.
Anyway, thanks for your time
