Year 1969
Suffix HD
CID 350
Appl Turbo Hydro
Carb 2BBL
Body A, F, X

 

It's a 4" bore block. The best way to figure out the stroke is to measure it.

 

It is a 2 bolt main
so it is 327 right?

 

Not necessarily.

 

Im sure its year 69.

He said it was 350 up there?

 

I also tried the engine serial on another camaro site, my guess would be a A or X body car. The block may be worth more to a restorer than you paid for it.

 

Well right now i have a 327 with no main caps (worthless) was gonna restore but then i baught this one for like nothing and im restoring no matter what i was hoping 327 tho but its all good 350 is better

 

Just saying that you could most likely make money selling it to someone trying to build a numbers car from '69.

 

Naw ima put it in my 92 camaro build it up nice to i jus wanted to know everything bout it so is it 350 or 327?

 

It could be either, you'll have to inspect it to find out. It's almost 40 years old, who knows what might have been done to it since it left the factory.

 

The #'s say it was built as a 350, check the stroke on the crank to make sure.

 

Its going to machine shop Monday so im sure ill find out then Gonna be a nice build.

 

TO6I9HD

T = Tonawanda engine plant
0619 = June 19
HD = 1965 327 out of a full size car
HD = 1966 327 from a Vette
HD = 1969 350 from an A, F, or X body.

19b400087 should be the last part of the VIN number from the original vehicle.

1 = Chevrolet
9 = 1969
B = Baltimore assembly line
400087 = Sequential number. Number 87 in the production run in that year for the car style it was in.

Looks like you have a 1969 350. It was originally rated a 250 hp with a 2 bbl and had a TH350 behind it.

 

Well looks like ill be building one hell of a 350 with a 700r4 behind it lol ty guys alot ill be sure to get pics when it is back from machine shop.


Stuck with a 327 out of a 67 camaro with no main caps lol I dont know what ima do with it.

 

Buy new main caps and get it line honed. Is it really worth it? It's just another 4" bore block. The crank is what makes it a 327.

 

Yea it will be in the shop..wrapped up until i get somthing to put it in.

I will be getting the 350 built aluminum heads intake 4 bbl all that =)
