I'm having a bear of a time identifying exactly what year the engine was made and what vehicle it originally came out of (for parts replacement). Anybody have a secret decoder ring for Chevrolet 6-bangers?
The block casting number is: 348675 (250ci between 1973 and 1976)
The numbers on the stamp-pad behind the distributor are:
F0624TAB = engine serial number.
T4F728072 = engine "vin".
Thanks for any help.

Examples I've seen start with numbers. "1" is Chevrolet. 4 = year. (74' since you already know it is a 70's block) F = Flint, MI (place vehicle was assembled) 728072 = last 6 numbers of vehicle VIN repeated on the block. Hope this helps.

Great thing about this motor is it DOESN'T have the junk integrated cylinder head, but it DOES have the electronic HEI ignition (prob someone else's past upgrade but it works for me)! It's gonna be backed by a 700R4 automatic w/od to help tame the 6.17 rear gears.
Thank you very much.
