- At one time I think I could have ID'd the entire package; oh well. I do notice you have that nice metal cooling fan: you will want to safeguard that item that I believe is proper for your year. You u

- Its hard to tell without the engine ID plate. But no mechanical tach means it is newer than a 65. I'm going to guess it may be an early 70s 18V engine but only from some of the accessories. The corre

- Hmm, I'm not aware of a source that can identify the casting numbers. For all I know the casting never changed. All the blocks had the big "1800". The head is obviously not correct for your car, bein

- Hi Doug, Welcome aboard. Your engine is most likely an 18V (5 main). It has a '68 or later head with plugged air injection ports and the block has a blanking plate on the driver's side where the mech

- Well, my pal has a 69 B he bought from the original owner, and the PO claims it went through 3 of those heads in 70K miles. Plus others have commented that the air injection heads are prone to cracki

- And the problem is?? Unless I missed something, this is a regular 5-main 1800 'B'-series engine (like your car should have). Now it might not have been originally in a '65 (likely a '68-'71 because

- LOL, If you only knew. Good 1800 heads of any vintage are scarce around here. The pre '68 head on my engine has been repaired. I've been on the lookout for a spare.

- Not at all!!! Nearly all 5-main engine parts are the same between '64 and '71. There were some changes in the pistons in that period, but nothing related to the crankshaft, cam, etc. These changes a

- Without the pollution stuff on the '68-on heads, they seem to hold up just as well as the earlier heads. Part of the apparent problem of a cyl head shortage relative to blocks is that most blocks su
