This is the original 318 engine for this car. It is not a small block. I do think it should have a little more red in the color of the engine though. Also I think the car would have originally been a 3-speed, not a 4-speed. Chrysler did not produce many 4-speeds until 1964.
@1hrallan they sold 4 speed manuals in 1963 B bodies, the T-10 tranny, not many were made. they didn't sell the 4 speed with the max wedge. I'm unsure if they sold them with the 318. if you check out the links on my You tube page/channel. there was a road road test done by a magazine in 1963 of a 63 Dodge polara 500 with 383 4 bbl and 4 speed manual tranny
Wrong color on the motor. But yea,,,beautiful car,,,love them Torq D's.
