If someone could help me decode this motor tonite I would really apprecaite it. I am going to look at it tomorrow AM to purchase.
the number on the forward plate is:
VI22143
other numbers on back of block on the drivers side is 3914678 and on the back pass. side is J277
This is supposed to be a 327 out of a 68 camaro.
What I really want to verify is if it is a 327 or not?
Thanks in advance!
here is mortec's decoding
3914678....302.....68....2...Z-28 Camaro
3914678....327.....68....2
3914678....350.....68....2
could be ither 1, but a 302 would have DZ cast into the block. probably a 327, casting number is accurate for a '68 327 and that's what your told it was. have to be dumb luck to get a '68 350 with that casting number, just to trick sombody.
thanks for the info.
I dont think he is trying to trick anyone. I am just coving my bases.
It would also be a 2 bolt main correct?
not shure. could be I think
thanks matt167
cool I will save that site
From the date codes J277 That block was cast on 27 Nov 1967. As car production for the 68 Camaro started in July 1967.
V122143
V = flint engine plant 122143 is the partial vin...without the suffix we dont know what car or model it came from.
J=10. Shouldn't that be Oct. 27, 67??
