Re: WTH: Parts ID Help

I finally got the casting #s off the blocks. The WA (blue) one is a 3970010, so that makes it a '69 350 @255hp. The TJZ has casting #3944636 and I can't find that on any list. Funny the chart shows the '73 TJZ @155hp. Both engines will be taken down and stored or sold if found to be buildable.

I noticed at the center top (slightly left looking from behind) of the back of the TJZ block is a boss. It's flat on top, round, and about 1.25-1.50" dia. Like what is there for the distributor but smaller and off the area forward of the bellhousing where the casting numbers are. I don't understand why that casting number doesn't show up anywhere.
