Another thought is that it was removed from something other than a car or truck. I thought the R might stand for "replacement" but that doesn't explain the partial VIN stamped into the block. Is there any possibility it really isn't an R (possibly a K or a B for example) and is there any chance there is a letter or two after the R that may still be hidden under paint? Your pic of sequence K041202R isn't too clear (MOST of the sequence is clear but the R is not and you aren't showing the block beyond the R although it may be clearer in person). Unfortunately, according to the internet an R means it's a 327 from the early 60's which makes no sense because of the 010 block casting. In your case the suffix code appears to be an R. I'm guessing you already know this but the "suffix code" should tell you what this engine came from. Edited by Ground Pounder on Monday 22nd of January 2018 07:27:45 PM (1 = Chevrolet, 3 = 1973, N = Norwood, 100001 = Production sequence of vehicle VIN) Chevrolet issued technical service bulletins to indicate which engines were to recieve a vin stamp, so who knows what could have happend (or not happened). Starting in 1970, the serial number is stamped either above the oil filter, somewhere on the block pad (in front of the cylinder head), or on the transmission flange somewhere. In 68-69 model cars, the serial (VIN) number of the car the engine was installed in is stamped next to, or under the engine code ID. The format consists of divisional identification number, model year, assembly plant designation and vehicle serial or sequence number. The vin code format is stamped onto most engines. Some engine machining operations (decking) will obliterate the engine ID.Įngine ID Code Example: V0101CLJ - (V = Plant, 01 = Month, 01 = Day, CLJ = Engine Suffix Code)Īnother example: T0830CTY - (T = Tonawanda, 08 = August, 30 = 30th day, CTY = 1970 396 Camaro, 375 hp, 11.0:1, TH400) The engine date must precede the car build date, otherwise something is amiss.
