    This is the site they are from
    http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-chevy-codes/chevy-engine-codes-suffix-4.php

    <table border="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]DE [/FONT]</td> <td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1958[/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]283 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Powrglid, air susp [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]full size/Malibu[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table><table border="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]DE [/FONT]</td> <td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1962[/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]283 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Powerglide, a/c[/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]195 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]- [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A X[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table><table border="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]DE [/FONT]</td> <td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1968[/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]307 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]man trans., 4 spd [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]-[/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]200 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2 [/FONT]</td><td>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A F X[/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table>
    I know you said you have a hard time seeing the number's, but can you get to the rear driver's side of the block for the casting number?

    the 18W....... number means it is a Chevy from the 1968 model year
    and I have a book that lists the DE code as a 67 chevelle 283 as well as a 68 chevelle 307.

    There should be another casting number on the back of the block that will tell you when it was made, a letter and two to 4 numbers, last digit would be the year. it will look like D 22 8 or something,
