ok so im building a 383 stoker motor for my camaro i have the short block already put together an have more parts to put on it but im stuck right now cause the block that im puttin everything in i only had the block nothing else. well i got an oil pan from a friend an it has that lil notch on the side for the dip stick well as i put it on the block i realized that the block doesnt have the notch in on it its just straight on both sides. so does anyone know what year is my block so i can hopefully find someone to buy an oil pan off of that doesnt have that lil notch in it?

 

you need to provide some casting numbers, preferably the ones on the front of the block that are stamped in on the rs front cyl head pad

 

i did like a month ago at school i forget the numbers but i no that it showed me alot of different years that didnt really help me out all that much but ill look again monday when im back at school
