[Chevelle-list] SBC

[Jimmy C.]

Hey to the list, Hope everyone had a Happy Christmas a Great Holiday and the New Year is starting out right ! I have a SBC motor and I can't figure out what it is ? The cast #3970010 when I looked it up it lists three different possibilities "1969" 302ci 4-blt main , "62-67"327ci 2-blt ,or "69-80" 350ci 2or4 blt main. then I went and tried to find the casting date(on rear ledge passenger side) which I think is H  1  87 - August, 1, 1987 . the stamped assembly date would seem to confirm this,V0827 CHF  V= Flint, MI-08=August, 27=day (26 days after being cast) if this is correct? can anybody tell me what size motor I have or where I need to look to find later than "1980" casting number listings. thanks in advance, Jimmy.C      ps .010 is also cast in larger numbers next to the freeze plugs on both sides of the block.
