So i bought a 350 from a guy that picked it up at a NAPA store. He doesnt know what it was out of, he was just going to rebuild it and put it in his 55 Chevy, but decided to buy a crate.
Block ID is 3970010 which is a block made between 69 to 80
head ID is 462842 heads made from 75-86 but the casting date shows 1208 or I208 which could be 9/20/78
Crank 3932442 69-85..cast...medium journal...3.48" stroke it also has a 88 on a counter weight and K68 86NF
I think G35 is the casting date which would be July 3 of either 75 or 85
I found the VIN on a pad on the right hand side head
T113DRB19C130975 havent decoded that yet
Whatever 010 is, its all over the block
cant figure out what H34, 776 , and the 509 under the timing cover is
over the oil filter there is 010, 10N
the main bearings are marked with GM66 or GM400 with a couple of stamps 8-78 and 10-78 which may be the date,with numbers 5453691 and 5463372 one set has 0006 US 276J on it.
the rod bearings are 5471138 713 thrust bearing is GM500 57800 314J8
If i could decode that VIN it would be fun to know what it was out of but it looks like the block was cast in 75, put together in 78 from the bearing and head dates
so its probably from a really late 78 or early 79 or a 80 car
A few VIN Decoders say there is a didgit missing, but thats all there is on the block. Can any of you gurus make a guess?
