The engine was cast in January of 68 so chances of it being used in something other than a 68 model are virtually nonexistent.  The trans number I don't have (John Kunkel will) but the sequence places it as an early to mid 70's number I believe.  Are there any stamped numbers on the lower pan flange of the trans on the driver side?
no sir, but i think i saw some big cast numbers started 53.... they went over the top, no easy way for me to get them
Let it alone^.

No, it's all good.  Like I said, the chances of them being the correct application parts and or date code for your car were slim long shots at best but it's always worth checking.  As was also stated it doesn't matter much anyway except to purists.

Well this way when the engine blows and the transmition throw another gear, it wont be so bad.
Is there anyway to get my charger to do wheelies and burnouts or is it just one or the other?

Your going to need a LOT more power and a LOT more traction to full the front end up.

  According to my guide, trans starting with "368" are from '72 to '75.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

500hp_440

Oh the trans thats mainly the case (the old one was destroyed)
how much torque do you think i need to be pushing to get a full on wheelie?

Since we're getting back on track, did you get a chance to write down any numbers from the side of that trans (or engine too while you're at it)?
Engine

transmition

no such number on the trans
but new long engine number (from a different sport then you said) its
PT440P2449108 and there was a 1 after that number but it was lower and a space away
Let it alone^.

Ryan.  The pic showing where to look at the number is a bit confusing. 
Don't know if this pic will be much help. The number is a stamping in the block right above the oil pan. The letters are small. If you look at the block on the pass side right above the oil pan you will see a smooth part that is about 3 inches long and a half inch tall. Thats where they are at.   
It may not even have the whole vin. It will have the year-build plant-sequence number.

Well if anything came out of this, it could be you're in for 133 post and you're brand new!  That's probably a record.  Keep this up and you'll be an " Old timer " within a week.  Then even you will have to tolerate the 16 year olds.  :smilielol:  You find that "spell check " button yet. :icon_smile_wink:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
