Hi
Is that by any chance G*G 1*5D?

If so there are some details shown on the BOC register.

There are many sources on the Internet for guides to identifying
Mopar engines and the location of their "numbers". This is pretty good:

Note on this page is a note about the "story" that Chrysler was
"hand-assembling" their 318 engines for the fuel-injected 1981-83
Imperial. Sound familiar?

Thanks to everyone.

Stefano is correct, I found the engine number behind the dipstick and it matches the number on the Bristol ID plate - in this case, the number is B-318-06-27S. There my still be a Chrysler factory casting number and build date on the side of the block above the freeze plugs but I do not know for sure.

Stefano, have you seen the casting number and date on the side of your engine?

Hello,

it is amazing to see that my engine has almost the same numbers as yours,
only the 'S' in your block opposed to the 'A' in mine. Maybe somebody will
enlighten us about this difference.

I didn't check the engine block numbers when I removed the engine from the
car because I didn't know there were any to check....but I found the 727
gearbox number and I was pleased to see that this number, too, match the
numbers listed on the original 'Advice of Despatch' of my car.

Cheers

Stefano
