Hi guys, and good morning to you all. Frist i have been all over this site this morning looking for i.d. info. I see responses , but no one tells us where you get the information. And yes i have been to inliners as well. Pleas help me with this I.D. I know it is boring going over the same stuff over and over. I wish there was a site of compiled information on one site you could send us new guys to so you did not have to answer reduntant questions. Apoligy stated in advance : Here go`s I have learned that my casting #328576 is from years 68 to 76. It has the following castings near the number.CVN2 and K12 With GM 85 just below the casting number.( i would like to know exact year) I have been searching for prefix and sufix information all morning. My prefix # ( By dist.) is f11081bl. In addition i want to know the head size.(cc`s) and valve size.And last how do i identfy transmission number c242.
As a new guy , i am totally excited on finding this site. I currently have a 1981 short bed step side with a 305/th400/Doug-Nash overdrive. My plan is to pull the existing engine tranny and O.D., sell it and do a bang up engine rebuild(basically stock balanced small cam intake/exhaust up grades) and install it in my truck with a 700r4 transmission. I have experince with the 700r4 and love them. I have 4:11 gears in the rear end. What kind of mileage, and performace are you fella`s thinking i can get? I know from reading that at least one of you are running the 700r4 set up.I am happy because the engine was free to me and it runs althought slight smoke, when pulled out. I have rebuilt Chev v-8`s , VW`s and Harley engines all my life, so i`m up to the task. In closing i am so happy to have found you guys here on this site. I like the attutide here and even have some ole friends from the Old COE site. Thanks for hearing me out. Please help me with the numbers You can even p.m. me at
