VO524DE The car is a 1967 Chevelle Malibu. The motor is either a 283 or a 327. Does anyone know by these numbers? The harmonic balancer is narrow (if that helps).
My buddy has a 1970 Chevelle and the numbers on his motor are TO210XK. We know this motor is a 454. Is this motor an LS 4 or 5 or 6 or what??


If anyone can tell me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

0524=May 24th engine assembly date
DE=65-67 Chevelle 283/195hp 2bl
58-59 Impala 283/185hp 2bl

Look for the casting number and casting date on top rear of engine to help further verify.

T0210XK:
T=Tonawanda engine plant
0210=Feb 10th engine assembly date
XK= Truck '68 396/275hp L-66
Check the casting number and date on top rear of engine.

These are the only uses I find for 0XK
