    1972 400CI motor

    The sparkplugs are "AUTOLITE AP85". Have no idea of the heat range but they seem to work great so I will be replacing them with the same plug when the time comes. Thanks again, LG, Mike

    "Pictures of model A?" I assume you want to see the Model A Sport Coupe I built in my two car garage. Took me 6 years and 4 months … LG, Mike

    1972 400CI motor

    Hi, My two cents, and I'm flying the seat of my pants on MOPARS. The 400CI came out in 1972 and ended in 1978. The block casting would have revealed at least the year. The engine ID# the year and plant where built. Someone suggested that the Jefferson Ave, Detroit plant ONLY built 400CI...

    1972 400CI motor

    Thanks for all the input...…...I'm learning quite a bit about the MOPAR 400CI motor. The guy who sold me the car, with ONLY 2200 miles on a fresh rebuild, told me it was a 383CI as the hood states......LOL I've owned it for four years and still have LESS than 5,000 miles on it. I posted, on this...

    1972 400CI motor

    I hear yah. I don't plan on ever selling my ride but who knows what my family will do with it after I'm gone. My 16-year-old grandson already told me he has 'first dibs' if I ever want to sell it. That is why I don't get rid of anything that came with the car even though I don't use it, i.e...

    Great advise. I guess now my main reason is just curiosity. I'd just like to know what car it came off of...….no real reason to really know since it will not make any real difference not knowing. Funny you mentioned the plugs. I was just thinking about that last night, to write down the specs...

    1972 400CI motor

    My BOOK, "American Cars ID Numbers 1970-79" is pretty informative. I last used it between 2000-2008 when I restored a 1957 Corvette. I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of info on MOPAR cars in it. I have yet to find how to decode the pad numbers though. Thanks again for all the info...

    1972 400CI motor

    The reason I want to know what car my motor came off of is so when I purchase replacement parts, I have a better feeling of what to order. The days of going to a parts counter and ordering old school is long over. Now, the FIRST thing out of the parts counter sales person is "what year and...

    After I wrote '74 I knew it did not sound correct...………….. I wrote these numbers a while back when I had the Hooker headers off to get ceramic coated. I took advantage of the situation and wrote down all the numbers I could off the block. I had NO IDEA it was NOT a 383CI motor. Now, I wonder...

    1972 400CI motor

    YES, I realize it is the MOPAR motor with the biggest bored cylinders. Internally it is the same as the 383CI. I believe the 400CI went from 1972 to 1974. Not positive on that...……. I took a nice picture of a 1972 RR with the 400CI motor. I noticed that his breather hose was at a different...

    Hi, I'm new to this "C" bodies site. The reason I joined is because my 1969 RR has a 1972 400CI motor that if my research is correct, came in a "C" body vehicle. Can anyone help me ID the motor: CASTING#: 3614230-4 ENGINE ID#: 2C208217 PAD STAMP#: 17782 A Thank you in advance...

    Hi, I'm the proud owner of my "all time favorite car", the 1969 Roadrunner. Been wanting one since 1969 when my roommate 'brainwashed' me with a POSTER of "Motor Trend" car of the year, the RR. My RR has a 1972 400CI motor. CASTING # 3614230-4; ENGINE ID# 2C208217; and PAD StAMP # 17782 A I...
