440 Number Decode?

They just mean what you would expect. 2536430 is the casting number and 3-31-67 is the casting date. Could have been used in a '67 or even a '68 model car. You'll have to look at the ID pad to see which model year it was used in and whether or not it was built as an HP block.

Thanks for this info.......where is this ID pad located?
