I could use some help. I have a BBC and I'm needing help in decoding the engine. I was told it's a late 90's GEN VI but I don't know for sure. On the boss on the front below the p***enger head is TO1O3XDL. On the back of the engine on the engine above the bell housing is 10237297. Please let me know what you can and where you find the information.

Looks like it's a Gen VI block according to info at http://http://www.castingnumbers.info/site/browse/m/Chevrolet/c/Engine_Blocks "454, 4 bolt, Vortec 7400, L-29 Generation VI" <table cl***="styledtable"><tbody><tr><td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td style="text-align:left;"> </td></tr></tbody></table>
