Hello Ya'll. I am having a heck of a time trying to find out what size motor is in my 22" 79 Brougham(78 Dodge). I checked the VIN using Dodge decoder but it shows up as Lebaron Car and can't find numbers on the engine. I bought two manuals(Haynes & Clymer) hoping they might help, but locations they listed to look I didn't have any labels or see raised castings. Are there any identifying differences on parts/locations to help identify engine size? I've seen ads online with people having 316, 330, 440-3 in old Dodge RV's. I am a Dodge noob and want a definite know before I go chunking money down on engine parts.
Any Assistance or help where to look to identify?
It's probably a 360 or 440. If the distributor is on the rear of the engine, it's a small block, probably a 360. If the distributor is on the front of the engine, it's a big block, probably a 440.
Distributor is under hood on the right side I believe. this is first 7 digits of vin:F44CD7V.
Thanks Griff in AK.
I'm having to buy parts and it needs a ton of them, maybe even a new carb down the line(has original). Going to have to redo my roof, bunch of rotted wood, inside wooden roof studs need replacing and cab over sleeper repairs. I have high hopes though. currently trying to decide best option for roof. bunch of pin holes on roof + where sunroof used to be over drivers cab, can't decide between elastomeric roof coating or some type of new metal roof entirely.
