Can you post the STAMPED number that's at the top/front of the engine right in front of the valley cover. It should be near that filler tube. If you can do that, I'll tell you exactly what it is.
i looked where you told me to look the number i found was 19590

It should be where this photo is marked "serial number" and it should start with a letter or letters. Is the 19590 from the block?

As above the serial will give you the year, the first two digits after the letters are the year, so the above pic would be a 1957 model, serial 7513. I used to have the Hemi book, and I could tell you more if I had the whole serial number with the letters as everyone above is asking for.

Yea, the one above is a 57 Chrysler 392 out of an Imperial. I have the reference book.

Looks like it mounts under the water pump, no side mount bosses? If so it's a Dodge Red Ram, 241 or 270. It's a truck engine, has the high water pump and fan.
