My casting number book goes from 173XXXX TO 3751XXX It does not go up to the 869XXXX and the book goes
to 1974, are you sure there is not another set of numbers?

There is a part number 3698 584 which is for a 1974 B or C body with a 400 four barrel.  There is also a casting number of 3698 434 for a 1974 360 four barrel in an A B or E body.

is the intake wet or dry? meaning does it have a thermostate housing mounted on the intake?

that will determine if it is big block or small block.

First question: Are you sure it's a Mopar intake manifold? If not, the casting number charts most folks will reference trying to help you will not work.

If you are sure it's a Mopar intake then I agree with Chryco: double-check the casting number and make sure you don't have 3s and 8s confused.

I've found 6s and 5s can sometimes look similar too, depending on how worn/old the part is. You might try making a rubbing of it - put a piece of paper over the casting number and rub on it with a pencil or crayon. Then read the casting number off the paper.

Here are the intake manifold numbers that I'm aware of for 1973:

CASTING #              YEAR                 ENGINE     
3671879                  1973                  400 1-4
3698444                  1973                  440 1-4
