I have jumped into the muscle car community with a 68 442. In the research I have done with the 442, I was under the impression that all of the 68's had the 400 with the possible exception of the W30. I do think the engine has been replaced in my car. It appears to be a 425. The number on the top of the engine next to the oil fill is 389244D which I see from links on this site indicate it should be a 425. Does anyone know if there were any 68's that had a 425. Further, does anyone know where to find out what the "original" numbers would have been for any specific car/VIN#?
If the 425 wasnt' used in those cars, does anyone know what they did use it in and when?
Thanks
