The important distinction when looking for parts is that 407 to 410 engines are known as "Poly" engines due to the polyspherical combustion chamber. The other 318 Mopar option of similar but slightly later period is the LA 318. Some of the bottom end parts fit but very few from the top end of the engine.
Production of the Poly in the US ceased around 1965 but it continued in Canada for about 3 more years.

I think most of the 410s registered in 1968 and 1969 had engine numbers beginning CC318. One C is for Canadian and the other is the date code for 1967. The last few 410s had the suffix L for large sump. I don't know if they were different in any other way. I also can't remember if they began CC318. Unfortunately the BOC chassis list abbreviated the engine numbers.
