Small Block Chevy Engine Block Identification here is a link to a listing of small block casting numbers ckeck to be sure your 8 isn't really a 3 if it is it is prolly the 350.<TABLE width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>1968</TD><TD>3970010</TD><TD>327</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>2 </TD><TD>A</TD></TR><TR><TD>1969-79</TD><TD>3970010</TD><TD>350</TD><TD>185</TD><TD>370</TD><TD>2 or 4</TD><TD>car, truck, Vette</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

 

Replace the "8" with a "3" (as with age, the 2 can be mistaken for eachother as grime builds up) and you have the casting number for a very common engine block. All it says about the engine is that that it has a 4.0x0" bore.

Well out of the 350s that are available, a lot of them are 010 blocks.

 

Ahhh ok...man down here in Mississippi...if ya got a 350...ya got a small gold nugget on hand...everyone down here makes rod's out of em,so gettin one is like bedding a celebrity....VERY hard to do, but when ya get it, ya rag it out
