Found an 18 spline trans.

[cudajunction]

I posted this to Galen and on the E bodies facebook page.

Here are those numbers on the tranny.....Top line OE 128566 Next line PP833 3062 0143, decodes as built 12-15-69, 143 off the line.

Nice!  A rare LA built 18 Spine.  maybe @6bblgt  knows where the car is? 

[Cuda Cody]

Looking at some of my records I would guess it to be a B-body.  But really not sure.  Just a guess.   

[6bblgt]

it's a 'cuda     new number to me .....

0E128561 & 0E128565 are both  440 6bbl 4-speed 'cudas

   Dan is the MAN!!!!

@cudajunction  My buddy owns this cuda BS23V0E128567.  It's looks to be one digit off from your 18 spline BS23V0E128566.... and he's missing his 4 speed trans!  Would you be open to selling that trans to him?  I can put you guys in touch and I do not need anything.  Just trying to help out.

I sent you a PM. 

For some reason, the message showed up as "guest" did not realize it was you!

 BS23V0E128567  what an AWESOME collection of color & OPTIONS - any pics of the 'cuda?

@6bblgt  Dan...Do you say "it's a Cuda" because 565 & 567 are Cudas ? So it a safe assumption ?

[Cuda Cody]

Me?  I have not gotten any PM's from you yet.   I'll send you one....

No photos of the outside of car.  I do have a cool photo of its dip lines.  Not many are this clean that you can see all the dip lines.   It's being restored right now.  It is completely rust free!!!

VINs were assigned in batches, roughly  0E128551 to 0E128600 were Plymouth E-bodies

[anlauto]

So you would have to have a few examples close together to make this assumption correct.

Using your example... Let's say I had info on a Cuda 0E128551 but I found the engine block 0E128550......

Without knowing what 0E128549 or earlier are,  the engine block could be a Cuda or could be a Challenger or whatever  ....who knows ? 
Is that a safe assumption ?

The whole "size" of the block is unknown and can only be determined by documented known examples correct ?

[6bblgt]

YES,
it's not an ASSumption it's employing deductive reasoning

[anlauto]

YES,

That sounds too complicated for me...
