Help me decode the block my dad gave me last year.
c11s111077 V0209CJL

I did decode the V series but, did I do it right.
V= Flint, Michigan
02= Feb
09= 9 th day
CJL= 350 4sp from a vette

I don't think it would have been restamped, The engine was removed from a 72 el camino, No reason to restamp it, as far as I see.

Help me out if this is right. I am a damn lucky person, well at least some what.

A 1971 350 from a vette. Rated a 270 HP. Has 4 bolt mains. Originally had a 4 speed manual tranny behind it.

Nothing really special about it unless someone who's trying to build a numbers matching '71 vette. What's the casting number?

c11s111077 is 1 digit to many. I'm guessing the c.

11s111077 is the last part of the original car's vin number.
1 = Chev
1 = 1971
S = Assembly plant, Ramos Arizpe
111077 = last 6 digits of serial number

Thanks
Its a run of the mill 010 block, It does have the high Iron and nickel castings though, 010 and 020 behind the timing cover. After finding out it was from a vette, I would have expected 4 bolt mains, Its not its only 2 bolt. It doesn't matter Its just a back up engine in case I tank the 400.
