    There will be a cast-in code near where the bellhousing bolts on, a letter and three numbers with slotted screw heads on either side. This code will tell you the date the block was cast. A is January, B is February, etc. The next two numbers are the date of the month and the last number is the year in the decade. For example, if the last digit is 8 it could be a block from '58, '68, '78, etc. Other clues in the block will pinpoint the exact year. Chevy heads have the same casting date code.

    JD -

    I got those numbers from the engine ID/ VIN code area. Does that mean I have to get the block date code and casting number too.

    I can't get back to see the block date code or block casting number.

    Joker -
    it isn't the orginal motor

    Saltflat-
    1970s seems possible but in order to get the right headers and such it would be super nice to narrow down.
