Also, for 1965: "All Chevrolet engines are stamped with a plant code, production date, and engine type code. All 327 engines have the plant designation and production sequence (last six digits of the Vehicle Identification Number) stamped on the engine."   So, it seems that where this guy is saying that the "VIN code format is normally located" only applies to 327s.   HTH, John Nasta   p.s. if those letters are bothering him, I'll be happy to take it off his hands :)     -----Original Message----- The strangest part is that there is no T1004IN for 1965 that I know of. The closest thing I can find for 1965 is:   T = Tonawanda 10 = October 04 = 4th IX = 396CID,  375HP, 11:1 CR, w/ 4bbl & manual transmission.   I can’t find anything about any L's on the engine block.   HTH, John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Can one of you smart guys answer this? plz   Hi All,      I sent this to the list yesterday, Does any of you have a guess as to what these letters pertain to: Here is an email I received from someone else with this information for a 65 396 can someone decipher this. The info is as follows: Something interesting we came across on the block was: the engine code format T1004IN are 3/16" high as per normal. Next to them, where the vin code format are normally located is 7 digits, instead of numbers are the letters LLLLLLL (7 times) these letters are 5/32" high as per normal for vin #'s intake date is 1-22-5 block date is 1-25-5 head date G-21-5 and F-15-5
