Block stamp decode

Is there a chart around to decode a block code stamp? Here's the numbers off of this 350...

13Z433980 (these are small numbers)
U01I60KK (these are large numbers after the small numbers)

the 1I is debateable. It was a bit hard to make out.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The small numbers are the last part of the original vehicle's serial number (numbers matching etc)

U01I60KK

V, not U is Flint engine plant
0116 is January 16
OKK is probably CKK

CKK can be a 1972 350. Originally had a manual trans. It was classified as an L48. 175hp, 4 barrel. Found in A F X body cars.

CKK can also be a 1973 350. TH transmission. Classified as an L65. 2 barrel. Found in B A X body cars.

Way cool! Thanks for the info. I just found a sight with the codes as well. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out the OKK! I should have remembered about the VIN code too.
