yap , its got rb written all over it , with hipo heads and exhaust manifolds . nice start . and early engines had bolt n nuts on the flywheels , no threads in crank hubs . i've got an early rb 383 from a 59 or 60 chrysler with bolt n nut cranks flange . 7/16 fine threads , early hemis were the same way . tap them straight to 1/2-20 and just bolts .

Check the front of the block, left side, just below the head. Should be a machined boss with letters/numbers stamped into it. That will be the engine number and will tell us what you've got.

I'm thinking this is a 1960 313, built in Windsor.
