Re: Help with motor suffix TRA
It's not a 350 since it shouldn't have a 4" bore

V = Flint engine plant
1212 = Dec 12
TRA = 1972 307. Originally had a manual transmission. Rated at 135 hp with a 2 barrel. Came in C10 and C20 trucks.

It's a boat anchor with no rebuildable performance value.

Re: Help with motor suffix TRA
Awww, c'mon...... there's a LITTLE value!

It's a better starting point than the non-roller 305 block...

I pulled the heads off last night it is a 350 4.030 bore with the roller tray pads and holes in the lifter valley. I guess it doesn't matter where it started life just where it is today.
