Hi all,
I bought a 69 blazer with an engine in it that I want to sell (the engine, not the blazer), but I'm trying to figure out what it is so I can sell it properly.
The guy I bought it from isn't the person that installed it. So he wasn't much help.

The #'s on the front were ground off during a rebuild (before I came to own it) and the case # on the back (driver side) is missing a digit?
It has 970010 and there is no apparent grinding scrapping or other such damage to the area that is apparent / that would be where the missing lead digit would have been.

** A) is it unusual for a digit to be missing?
** B) anyone have any ideas on the engine?

If it's a "3" 970010, I would know that it was a 350 between 69 and 79 (I'm assuming 350 based on the larger harmonic balancer but could be mistaken).

The date stamp is a J249 which tells me fall of either '69 or '79.
The heads are '71 882's, so they weren't original for that engine.
and the carb's #'s put it on a '71 vette.
