That worked out well for you & rather quick too!!!! didn't look it up but was than a 4 or 2 bolt main, just wondering Thks. pete

Model A Guy · STROUD, ONT

Other than being an 010 Pete, I have no idea whether it was a 2 or 4 bolt, I didn't really care.
I have never had any luck running the numbers on it to find out if it was original to the '79 or '80 truck that I pulled it out of. My next door neighbor
at the time owned a motor rebuilding shop [Speedy Machine] in Newmarket, he rebuilt it for me. I am pulling it out of the '28
and replacing it with a non-emission motor, it is in being rebuilt at the same place. I am not about hi-performance and speed,
just simplicity and reliability, which I have had with all the motors he has done for me.
I would appreciate it if someone could run the numbers. Thanks in advance!

Without a clear picture of the pad, it would be near impossible to try and decipher.

Could not find anything, the Suffix Code from the front stamp pad should have two or three letters.

That will help determine what you have.

As for the date K07 068W I think is K070

Casting Date K070 = Nov, 07, 1980

Small block casting date is located on driver side rear of block on flange forward of bellhousing. Big block on the right side of engine above the oil pan rails.

Casting Date Example: E038 - (E = Month, 03 = Day, 8 = Last digit of model year (1978)).

Month: A = Jan, B = Feb, C = Mar, D = Apr, E = May, F = Jun, G = July, H = Aug, I = Sep, J = Oct, K = Nov, L = Dec

Frank, the numbers as they appear on the pad are as follows:

T64523526 K07 06 8W

As for the casting date by the bellhousing, I can't see it as the motor is still in the car, there just isn't room.

Thank you for trying, I appreciate it!

Unless it's a Canadian engine that has the casting date on the side of the block near the frost plugs. Attached is a pic of a 1957 283.

The date should be decoded from the stamp in front of the passenger cylinder head.

If those are the numbers you posted, I have to wonder if this was a GM Replacement engine or crate.

Example:: This is what stamped on my 0010 block.

The CNV will tell you the year and model the engine came out of.
I have not seen a block with only a single character. It would have two or three.

Thanks RWW!

Thanks Frank! I will have another closer look at the pad tomorrow, wouldn't be the first time these old eyes have deceived me.
I appreciate the replies!

Engine code of 3 letters is 1970 and newer, 2 letters is 1969 and back.
