How to ID a Small Block Engine Block:
Well that was helpful. I spent nearly a day trying to find that type of information and couldn't do it. Did find one youtube similar to that, but he showed the vin plate in another location. But I checked and my vin tag is blank. So an engine that wasn't installed in a factory vehicle.
Makes no difference to me, except when you go to an auto parts store and they want to know what vehicle it is from so they can look it up on their computer. Their computer doesn't have this thing in it and the original 318 from 1972 has been replaced with this one from 83. So one thing I need to be able to tell them is a make believe engine they can look up to find me parts, like gaskets, etc.
Also not sure when the engine swap was made what stayed and what was new. Carb is a Carter BBD, and is likely the original. As you might expect, carb ID tag is missing.
