We are buying a 1948 cabin cruiser with twin Chrysler 318 inboard engines. We have the model number and serial numbers--how do we determine the year the engines were built?
 
Look for stampings on the engi

Look for stampings on the engine. And also on the intake manifold if you dont think it has been changed. it will look like some numbers with a little clock type of logo next to it. The date will be month and year with no slashes. 9 76 logo will mean Sept 1976
You will not ever have any confidence that you found the right numbers because they are so nebulous.
Oh and they can be really hard to find. Good Luck.
