Re: [FWDLK] '56 Plymouth Manual

["Roger Howard" <rhoward@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     I';ve had this 57 Plymouth Sport Suburban for about a year, and I just
assumed it had a 318 until I was challenged recently.
     The 57-58  Service Manual shows B/W drawings of the four engines
available..(.p. 274) which are the 318  Dual Fury (two four barrel carbs),
the 350 Golden Commando,   the 230 in-line six,   and the V-800, which is
the two bbl 301 and 318.  Well, I can plainly see it isnt the dual furyn nor
the golden commando, nor  the 230 ,  so I'm left with either the 301 or the
318 two barrel. On p. 4 of same manual, there is a data chart. My car is a
p-31  for which either engine was available.  I know on the 59's, the engine
block has a number that starts 31, meaning it is a 318. Does anybldy know
how to decode an engine block number from 57, please?   Roger,  near Seattle
