Reply to "engine number on ID tag"

double G,

I have a late 72 built, (December 72) #4382, engine block shows D2AE-CA #2829. Mine is a matching numbers car. George my car shows as a 72 model on the pink and the registration first being sold in 73.

doubleG, it is odd that yours is a higher serial number but an earlier build date (oct 72), but I have seen this before on a number of cars. I had the same questions on the block.

Mine is a 4 bolt main and had the built in windage tray in the pan as mentioned. According to Jack DeRyke it has Boss 351 rod bolts (small football head 180,000 psi strength) which some of the CJ motors came with. I looked at all the particulars of blocks, rods, rod bolts, main caps, etc. As most have said you should be fine with either a 2 or 4 bolt main.
