Posted on FB - Need help guys . Bought a 69 sweptline with this 318 . Wasn't concerned , because I'm going with a rb engine . This is the 318 I pulled , it has been rebuilt , and I've had it running. The casting number is as shown in the picture , is 4104230-318-11 . Every Mopar sight I've been on lists it as a race engine . Can anyone tell me any specs on this ? Someone told me it is actually a 340 . Appreciate anything you can help with .

Pickup engines could only be 3/4 race.

The deal is that casting number was used on the X block, but it was also used on 80-84 vintage 318's.... If it has the big X it's a race block.... If it doesn't it's a late model 318...

BTW the X is behind/below the alternator....  And my bet is there's no X...

I'm a little late to this party.  I am in search of such a block, 318-X: 4104230-318 casting.

Torred, do you still have this block, and if so are you willing to part with it?
Thanks!

It amazes me how some people on the board have such details in the memory banks.

It wasn`t mine I just saw the post and had never heard of a 318 race block so was just curious to know if it was true, always learning about these Mopars.
