Re: can not read casting number
The information you've provided does not help with an ID at all. Can't say much other than it's probably a 350 SBC. Treat it as a core.

Re: can not read casting number
Since I doubt anyone would swap to those crappy heads it is probably a 350, you could pop a head off and measure the bore and stroke.

Re: can not read casting number
See if there are any suffix numbers still stamped on the pad on the deck in front of the passenger head.

Re: can not read casting number
If the pad on the passenger side front is blank then the motor has been decked... you'll have to measure how much to figure out heads/head gasket choice and such.

Re: can not read casting number
207 = early 80s 350 block
14010207
624 = 70s smogger garbage of the worst kind; makes an OK doorstop; not much else
Looks like you have a collection of parts, not any kind of original "engine"; so look at the rest of the parts, and they just are whatever they are
