Title: can someone help me decode this 350?
Post by: jwang203 on January 14, 2012, 04:48:07 AM
Here is a picture of the stamp above the water pump. I cannot find out what this came out of other than its a 350. Any help? Thanks.

the rest of the casting numbers can be more of a help than those ones....their easily faked or changed...

the ones on the bell housing flange and the ones on the heads are more important

Im pretty sure second stamp is fake as when I run it i keep coming up with 68-69 camaro 396, but I will keep checking, but the only way to know for sure is to get the number trans flange  ;D

Thanks guys. This motor was purchased as a rebuild from someone. After installing it and having tons of issues it spun a crank bearing after about 300 miles. Its coming back out.

I would also get the one that is cast in the block by the bell housing.
I know the one on the front is the plant code but the other will help you out as well.
