I'm Bamboozled... Engine/Vin code error.

Nevermind!

a 68 vin will not read  XH ,   sounds like its XP29H    H = 383 hp

in 70 a charger vin could start with XH

Im new to the codes on these cars.. how does H=383? Thats just what it was in 68' before they made the 340 and it was changed to N?  Baby steps baby steps...

Ps. I fixed the P in the VIN I wrote that part down wrong myself  

[ZSmithersCharges]

The confusion was because the seller blocked out the rest of the VIN making it XP29H******** So I only put the first section in the decoder, therefore it didn't correct for the year obviously giving me my 340 problem.   However, when I added the year it gave me the right results, thank you for your help!

H was the motor code for the  383hp , for the 68 & 69 model year only ,
then H for the 1970 to 73 model year was for the 340hp motor  


yeah the codes are confusing at first  example a 440 for 68 & 69 is a L code , but in 1970 a L code is for a 383 !
have got a chart somewhere  ,  the year one site has one also i think

I'm beginning to see the light!   Actually, I'm beginning to think its bed time for me.  Thank you for your help again my friend maybe you can school me some more tomorrow?

Yea I used the year one site http://www.yearone.com/updatedsinglepages/Id_info/mopar/mopar%20engine%20ID/engineinfo1.html
Good information but I started reading too much without taking the time to "Think" about what I had read and confused myself and here lies this thread
