Engine year
I have a 72 Chevy C10 with a replaced 350. The guy I bought the truck from is not mechanically inclined so he had a mechanic friend replace the blown engine with another 350. He believes it's a 72 or 73, but not sure AND doesn't know if it came out of a car or truck.
Is there a way to identify the year of the engine and what it was originally in? I want to know the year so I can get the correct filters and I need to replace a badly leaking timing chain cover/oil pan gasket. Thanks for any help! Ted |

Re: Engine year
Hi Ted, welcome to the board. Grab these three numbers.
Block casting number, example, 3970010 Engine ID number, example, V0101TAX V=engine assembly plant 01=month of assembly 01=day of assembly TAX=application code Block Date code, example, A012 A=month block was cast 01=day block was cast 2=year block was cast If your block is from a car it will have a partial VIN number stamped on the pad, near the engine ID number. If your block is from a truck, before the mid seventies, it won't have a partial VIN stamped on it.
