Mopar hambers !!!!! Need your help

Here it is i have 1963 plymouth conv. $ anyways . I was told that the original mototr was a 445 and the fender tag last digits are 445 right now it has a poly 318 . How can i found what the original engine is

another hint that i have is the left fender wall has an indention where a bigger engines alternator needs to fit into .

Hope that makes sense

help if you can

 

Mopar never made a 445 and they all had the inlarged box at the Alt area. 63 would have had 383,361,318 poly,slant six. I have never seen a 413 in a ragtop, if so its a rare SOB.

 

The dent in the inner fender is where the alternator would fit on a slant six.

 

alright can anybody tell me about the fendre tag i know the 10 digit vin only tells you if its a v8 or not
but does anybody a accurate fender tag decoder

Google "Mopar VIN decoder". There are several sites that will help you decipher the tag.

 

I have info back to 66 but not much prior to that...sorry I can be of much help.

But as suggested do a google search and see what you can scare up.

 

Check with my friend in Missouri.......Clay Kossuth...he has 42 acres of Mopars ...and a Black 413 powered 63 convertible.......636-257-4669.........I am sure he can give you the straight scoop on the Mopars.........
