Looking for help identifying a small block (block and crank only)
Hello,
as it's stated above. I have spent several hours searching to find the identity of a motor I have. It has a casting number of 3956618, and ID stamp of V0414WN. I know this much from the casting and the engine id code, It is most likely a 1968/69 350- four bolt main, 255hp with a manual transmission and A.I.R.(which I'm assuming is air injection). I also know it was produced at the motor plant in Flint, Michigan on April 14th.
From the vagueness of the remaining information it could be a 302/327/350. No.forged crank so I'm ruling out the 302. I have the rods and pistons so i will be checking stroke tomorrow. The casting # on the crank is 393 2442. From that I'm gathering it could have been found in the above mentioned years and motor sizes as well as could have come from a Pass car, Camaro, Chevelle, Nova or Truck. I'm really trying to narrow down what the engine came out of. Anyone have anymore ideas that might help me?
Thank you in Advance
Ryan
Where.do you find the information that it's a truck motor. I've had it so long I can't even remember where I got the motor from. In the oil gallery it has raised castings do those mean anything? Like little extra rectangles of cast.
