    what engine do i have????

     



    just bought a "350" so i was told here are the numbers that came off the block
    off the back of the block
    855909
    B2 78
    T7
    00NV2
    off the front of the block
    16B575153
    T0428CPB
    i have checked all numbers and letters several times and i know the one off the block are vin and id numbers but can't find out what the engine suffix is "CPB" means. Could someone help me verify what i have. thank you for your time

    thanks guys i believe its a 305 cause the heads casting "14014416" is for a 305. But that's saying its the original heads. i couldn't find the casting number either.

    Casting 1404416 is a 1980-86 305 head with 59cc chamber so it did not come
    with the block.....and a 267 had a different casting number. Someone has changed
    heads on this block at some time.

    its a 305 change the 855909 to 355909 and you get this
    1976-85 355909 305 - - 2 A
    and since the building stamp is B2 78 it not a 262.

    IF you paid for a 350 and got a 305, the seller should refund at least 2/3 of your money.....maybe more. The 305 crank is the same stroke as a 350 but the counterweights are different.....not much salvageable off a 305 block/heads/internals.
