hello
i have had my charger for about 2 and a half years now, and although we are starting to tear into some places (repairing floors, and parts of the frame) under the hood i have left it the way i have bought it, (if its not broke why fix it). I have originally thought it was just a plain old 318 that was jazzed up with headers and a 4 barrel carb. But in talking to the last owners son (hes a senior in the same highschool) he said that they checked and it was a 360. As much as i would like this to be true i am skeptical. I want to settle this once and for all and would like your input as to how can i tell if it is a 318 or a 360?

I was able to read my block codes by driving the Charger up on ramps, grabbing a flash light and a creeper and going underneith.  Not too hard really, you just have to be willing to get under there and look.
