Hola David
Most people do not paint the 340 engine's an lessor engine colour.
They tend to brag the power plant is an 340. Nor do they normally install
360 or 318 spec'd 2 bbl's on them.
If the engine seems to labour when under 1800 rpms, then it may be an
Plymouth or Dodge 340 in an heavy Chrysler Division '81 Imperial.
But, ... you do have an point.

From 360"s
That would work, but it MIGHT be a 340,(thin damper like 318) you
never know.The casting number on the block is for sure. Dave.

Hola Class
Why jack the car up and waller around under it getting junk all over
you when you can just angle the view from the driver's side to the Harmonic
balancer. If the harmonic balance is about an inch wide, think
318. If it appears almost two inches wide, think 360. If you
have an thin harmonic balancer and an 2 bbl carb that appears not much
larger than a soda can, it is for sure an 318. If it has an thick
looking harmonic balancer with an 2 bbl carb that has an four inch looking
mouth, think 360.

Hi folks,
I am going nuts trying to figure out what
engine is in my '81 F.S. Imp. I no longer believe it is the original
engine ,as it has the old style "v" ac compressor and mount.
My 62 year
old failing eyes have found this number on the engine block pad in the
driver's side of the engine--GWG0132540276. I wirebrushed the pad before I
wrote the number down, but, i might not have it right--as most of you
know--it's hard to see clearly. I have searched the info on our website
and found nothing even close to this number.
Can any of you tell me
what it is?
Thanks for your help,
Jerry
