interesting 331 truck motor

I tore down the 331 truck motor I recently acquired. It's stock and otherwise un-touched:
VT 348 (yes, the number is correct, and yes, it's a 331 Chrysler)
Block# 1330129-2 (non-extended bellhousing)
Head# 1536367-1 (large ports, tall skinny water heat x-over)
Plain no-name valve covers
4-bolt exhaust manifolds (no casting# yet)
Single 1bbl intake manifold# 1536375-1
Full length sump oil pan
The interesting part about this motor is the number stamped on the valley cover. It follows the Dodge numbering convention for some reason. The heads seem to be an un-documented casting#.
