Block is a 65/66 396 by #961 casting number the motor is originally out of an impala/caprice etc. because of the IG code on the deck I was for full size cars, E was for chevelles. The crank should have the #6223 on one of the first 2 counterwieghts being a forged steel crankshaft. If U ever rebuild the motor this block needs the rear cam journal on cam grooved for oiling to lifters.
