RE: [Chrysler300] FW: 1955 300 Engine

Vic:

Thanks for the lead, but Chrysler 300 blocks are stamped with serial numbers
3NE55xxxx where xxxx is probably 1000 to 3000, or so.  Without the leading
3, it is a New Yorker or Imperial block, especially with the high serial
number 9720.  The engine may have come out of a 300, but it was not what was
in it when it left the factory.

As I understand it, there is little, if any, difference between a 300 block
and a NY/Imp block--there was a selection process after boring to assure
that 300 blocks had no porosity in the cylinder bores.  Porous castings were
sleeved and installed in NY & Imp.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
Brentwood, CA
1955 C-300 (engine s/n 3NE551098)
