Re: IML: 62 Cross ram imperial information

[Scott Nash <spnash1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

D^2

My brother is trying to determine if the car is worth saving.(I think 
it is!)  He says it's quite rusty, he would like to save the car if the 
engine is original to the car.  I assume the engine is a 413.   The car 
is a 4 door white/red interior.  I'm trying to get him to take some 
pics so I can post.

Is there a way to determine if this engine was installed at the 
factory, did Chrysler place the build sheets with the car when they 
were built.

Where can I find the stampings on the intake or the engine and did 
Chrysler stamp the serial numbers on the block in 62?  Any information 
would be appreciated.

Scott
