I bought a 68 chevelle 396/automatic/AC/power steering with 12 bolt rear end that has been on a farm parked for over 20 years and I got the numbers off the front of the engine pad. It's hard to get to the numbers on the back of the block with the engine still in the car.The car is no good as it has lots of rust so all I want is the engine. Here are the front pad numbers if anybody can help with these I would appericate it.
TI020IV 8y125261
3883948 on the intake
I got the engine number,
Engine number is 3916323, Heads 3917215
Not sure if this is the original engine but the car only has 76,000 miles on it.
Thanks,
Gary
