Location: So. Cal | You're right. It should be a raised block 383 (like 413 and 440). Just take a look at the pad by the distributor. There should be some numbers stamped there that will tell you for sure.
If it is the white car that I am thinking of, you got a great deal on what looks like a great car. Congratulations.

Location: Fairfax, Minnesota | My 161 Chrysler Windsor has an original 361. Since mine was built in Canada, I am guessing that your was buit there also. I can't make a link live for some reason- but copy and paste this-owner staes it was built in Canada and has a 361. The Dodge chrome foil interior door panels are a giveaway. https://www.shannons.com.au/club/enthusiasts/crybby/garage/1960-chrysler-windsor/

Yessiree - one of the best there is and ever was. The Astra Dome instrument cluster falls into the same category as far as I'm concerned.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | That's a US built car. The engine should be a raised block 383. If you look at the casting to the right of the distributor there should be a raised boss with a stamping on it. The Low block 383 or 361 engines don' t have that boss. See the attached photo the area circled in black is the boss.

Keen for the update on the engine model too. Maybe someone planted a B in there?
