Backyard find - what is it? pics Exploring the back yard we found this poking out of the ground. I'm trying to get to the block pad to grab some numbers. What do you think it is?
Hmm is that a 3970010 in the pic below?
I can't find anything else that matches in this list:

someone else just said it's a smogger so it's probably worthless.
I can't drag it out so I'm going to have to take it apart to get it up the hill. I'll look up the head #'s when I do that..

Venerable Small Block Chevy 3970010 should be a 350, most were 4 bolt main with that casting number. Two barrel and EGR puts it up to 74-ish. Still has the AC compressor bracket going off to the left....
In 40 years that will be an LS1 in a yard somewhere.....

Looks like this casting which is one of the most produced Gen 1 motors in history. The 4" bore block that came with 2 bolt or 4 bolt mains produced in 1969 through 1979. I would leave it where it's at. Seems to be the only thing holding that tree up.
