Looks good!
I like the no-R/T stripe! hate that mine looks like an R/T wannabe from a previous owner...

Ben wasn't the V9 stripe part of the A66 package?

Darn: So they didn't have to pull the heads, at least you have peace of mind now anyway.

So I'll never know if the other head was the same date.

Is there another date on the block somewhere?

RUNCHARGER

Yes: The date is cast into the side of the block. Have you checked the VIN stamp on the side of the block to see if it matches the car's VIN?

Do you know where about's on the side please?

Should be on passenger's side of the block, just above oil pan, on a pad in about the middle of the engine...

Nice 340 Challenger!  I love the A66's.  They are a bucket list car for me.  Especially a convert!

Car's all done and back home.  So good to drive! 

It sure is wide, I have to take care around the narrow country lanes in Oxfordshire, UK, they weren't designed for cars like this :).

Congrats on getting it home !! The Chall looks Awesome too !
They are very wide cars & are fun to drive !

So I checked the engine number on the block and it matches the vin stamp near the cowl and vin tag on the dash. So looks like I have matching numbers car  :).  Very happy!

Thanks for helping me locate the numbers.

That's what I was thinking too! Still better than pulling pistons.

Not sure.  The car is a stock A66.
