I have a chance to pick up a motor that my friend claims was running when he pulled it . # on block left (drivers side) 14010207 27 8 underlined 12 point (like clock) with arrow pointing to 2 o'clock. # on front of block (passenger side) V10262jj 1f104901 Can anybody tell me what this came out of and what year HP and other info you may decipher from these numbers. Thanks. Doc
You sure thats 2jj? Should be 3 letters at the end. ZJJ resolves to this <table border="1" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>ZJJ</td> <td>1985</td><td>350</td><td>Tuned prt inj, a/t</td><td>L98 8</td><td>230</td><td>TPI</td><td>Vette</td></tr></tbody></table>
14010207 casting number "clock" is time of day casting sand was setup V10262 ZJJ and the 1F104901 is the partial VIN of the vehicle it was in originally.
How about this one, back of block is your basic 3970010, front pad is K02 02 TJ St Catherine, Feb 2nd but what the heck is TJ ? It sure isn't a pontiac 305 with the 010 block casting.
my books show TJx, the x being A thru Z, all being a pickup, Blazer or Van 1/2 ton 3/4 ton and 1 ton, from 73 thru 79. in other words it's a truck engine. the T first in a three letter code means TRUCK. if it was CJx it would have been a passenger car engine.
come on guys, ya gotta remember a "010" block is a 4" bore block. It was used in ANYTHING that needed a 4" block, like 350's/302's. And it was never used as a 327.
but mine has 1964, 461, 327 heads on it...lol I did find out my mystery engine is indeed a 355ci piece, a friend of the old owner gave me some info last night.
