Block #1 front pad T0220OHQ - behind oil filter 19f073479 -from a 1969-car not sure /not chevelle
Date H 13 8 =aug 13-1968Casting
3955272 =Used from approximately September of 1968 to June of 1969. Sometime between casting dates January 7 and March 17 the casting date position was moved to rear of bellhousing flange

Block #2 front pad CE950665 Date G 18 8 =july 18-1968
Casting 3935440 - nothing by oil filter/ce=counter exchange block/replacement block, Used for all 396 applications from mid to late 1968 and early 1969. Production stopped approximately August of 1968 although supplies would have been used in production until exhausted. Casting date on the right lower side near the freeze plug in front of the starter. Has 'tall tower' distributor casting boss.
rear axle KDC 046 Date code B 4 2
kdc=2.73 non-posi built in B=buffalo on the 046=the 46th day of 71 or 72?

Are you sure that its HQ? that comes back to 1969 350/255hp, For both Chevelle and Camaro.
But the casting number 3955272.. says..396.......69......2 or 4 bolt

It has a definate line to the bottom right of the last letter - making it look like a "Q" not saying it could not be an "O" but sure looks like a Q


thanks for all the info so far

I plugged the vin into my database (the F in the vin means it was out of a 69 fullsize car assembled at Flint, MI), it fits in perfectly. The car would have been assembled beg. of March which makes sense with the Feb 20th assembly date on the engine pad. I think the number on the pad is actually T0220JQ. JQ being 396 with TH400. Could you post a picture of the vin by the oil filter?
Thanks, Warren

Warren,

will try & get a pic of the front pad & also the vin by the oil filter this week & post it



thanks for all the help

CE950665 is a service part

CE - Chevrolet Engine
9 - Year of manf.
50665 - Unit serial number (Tonawanda used 49999-79999)

Note-Likely only a short block as a majority of service parts were partials engines, they only replaced what need to be replaced. They reused the good parts like heads, intakes, oil pans, water pumps etc.

Warren,


you were correct the front stamp was T022OJQ dont know where i got the
T0220OHQ from?, cant blame it on liquor cause i dont drink - thanks for all the help. this is a great resource for anyone needing a little help.
