3698830-440 engine block number

The Chevy 350 engine is a 350 cubic inch (5.7-liter) small block V8 with a 4.00 and3.48 inch bore and stroke. Depending on the year, make and model of a car, horsepower ranges from approximately 145 to more than 370.

1964 Chrysler Imperials had the legendary HEMI engines in them, which made them super powerful. My guess is it had "dual quads" for carburetors. Are those carburetors in-line, or offset (side to side) from one-another, on what was commonly known as a "cross-ram" intake manifold?

what is the vehicle that engine is from ? the engine capacity is usually provided on the vehicle registration documents

Numbers on block are of little help .. measure cylinder bore x stroke x8 will give cid ...

Hey spoofy, that is a good block casting...Chevy used that from 1969-1979. The Vette, Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Monte Carlo and Trucks all had this engine. If it's a 4 bolt main, the chances it came out of a Vette are very good. The engine number you give does not cross reference.
I hope this helps.

Check that the fuel pump runs &
you have pressure while cranking

OK, if the engine is overspeeding at 40 mph and won't rev any higher, then I would say the transmission is not up shifting to higher gears. A solenoid blocked up or defective may be the problem. I would then have the transmission replaced or rebuilt to solve the problem.

If the engine is not overspeeding, then I would look at the engine itself not providing enough horse power for the transmission to up shift in the first place.

Good luck on this repair.

Take a look at thse two and replace them:

(This is for the power windows)


The fuse panel, which contains fuses and circuit breakers, is located behind the glove box door. Additional fuses are in the Power Distribution Center located near the left side strut tower in the engine compartment. Each item is identified on the cover of the Power Distribution Center.

There is an additional relay module (relay and flasher module) located to the right lower corner of the instrument panel (Dynasty, Imperial and Fifth Ave.) or behind the cup holder (New Yorker). A relay or flasher can be removed by pulling it straight down from the module.

Enter the year,make,model and engine size of the car. Select to the left "Routing diagram" just under where it lists the part number for your serpentine belt.

Hope this answers your question. Best of luck.
