Pulled the 318 from my Barracuda. It's not original as my car is 1973, this is a 6/22/71 build.
Can't find the VIN stamp anywhere. It's not where my 3 - 340's we're all stamped.

HM318R 3819 0125

H = 1972 MODEL YEAR
M = Mound Rd. engine assembly plant
318 = cu.in.
R = regular fuel
3819 = Tuesday January 11, 1972 engine assembly date
0125 = engine unit number

no partial VIN usually indicates pick-up truck/van or warranty origins

@cuda hunter , yes, this is the 318 that was in my 1973 Barracuda.

So the vin on your car match's the vin on the block??

I'm guessing not likely if the car was a 1973 car.
