RE: PARTS

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

As you know the 2536430 castings were 1966-72
production...which means some blocks may have been
installed in '73's. Also, and more to the point, not
all blocks were stamped hp when used in high
performance app.'s AND NOT ALL high performance app.'s
were stamped hp. This is a totally unreliable (and
confusing) marking...Momma Mopar was not the Library
of Congress when it came to keeping records correct.
   The "green" paint you describe is the production
color for many big block applications in various
production lines...Chrysler,Plymouth,Dodge, etc.

Don't get hung up on labels...especially since the
"hp" means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when talking about block
castings...all blocks were cast the same and then it
was "labeled" when made into an engine...most "hp"
labels referred to head and intake/carb
up-grades...this could be as simple as stouter valve
springs...

Any casting changes or block design changes were
universal and got a new casting number.
