Hey guys, just got a new Chevy.
It should be a 454 V8... but am not sure. Don't know anything about it besides that it is a beast and has lot of power!
In the front, right I found this:
T0209FBW
CE3324084
What I know is:
Tonawanda Engine plant, 02/09 - don't know the suffix code "FBW"
Would be great to get information about the power, manufacture year,...
Thank you already forwarding!

look on the back drivers side behind the cyl head, where the trans bolts on. there is a casting number. that is the number needed

this explains location of casting numbers and breaks down some

The FBW suffix was used on replacement/over the counter BBC 454 engines in 1984. The "CE3324084" is a Chevy part number rather than a partial VIN stamping. Don't have any info on rated HP although my source indicates that this was a replacement engine for the 1984 C-20 truck.

Hope this helps!
