I have a brand new chrysler short block which I'm trying to figure
out exactly what it is. The tag says part no. 4105987. I measured
the bore and stroke at approx 3.9" X 3.4" which comes out to being
a 318 probably. Stamped on the end of the block is 8M31803161035
from which I might also conclude it's a 318 of some sort. I got
lots of other numbers off it too, none of which meant anything to
the folks at the local chrysler dealer. Do those numbers mean
anything to any of you fellows?

I have a 65 dodge truck with a 318 which burns alot of oil and I
was thinking if I was ambitious I might put it in that, but more
likely I'll sell the short block (and maybe the truck as well) once
I figure out what it is.

For what it's worth, the federal stock no is 2805-01-136-7721.

Thanks!
