This engine is in the 1930 model a hot rod i bought. i am having a hard time figuring out what year and model it came from. Any help would be appreciated. I have the following numbers/letters: On the rear of the block: 3970014 On the front: 10B178336 and To317CNJ or T0317TNJ-which i think means Tonowanda, march 17 Thanks
10B....means it's from a 1970 Chevy car. CNJ would make that a 1970 Chevelle with a 300 hp 350 with a manual transmission. any more questions? we can probably dig up some more info edit: took a while to get it figured out
Thanks for the help again Guys. Funny, about the corvette. Well this 1930 model A car has "corvette valve covers". Haggerty wanted pictures of the car. They saw the corvette on the covers and started asking many questions. I told them that they were just a decoration. I have a pair of old school edelbrocks and a matching air cleaner that will be installed in place of the "corvette"
My 1970 350 300 014 4-bolt main engine for my 57 Chevy has the corvette valve covers for now. Sorry, not a corvette, came out of a station wagon.
JB Weld a blue Ford oval on a plain Chevy factory Sheetmetal cover. Then explain that it was a special engine project that happened to get canceled, but you got the only survivor.
Are you referring to a real Olds valve cover, or a cover off one of the many Chevy engines that were factory installed back in the 70s. Remembering back, it was funny how many people went ape **** and sued GM about the "fake" engines. They sued, and actually won the lawsuit.
