Bought a 1972 Chevelle not too long ago and am in process of doing a restoration on all the things needing attention. In the process , was figuring out what have exactly under the hood, as the car was said to be a 454. Found the cylinder head casting numbers and they are 396 heads. But the casting number for the block has me puzzled as it is M015446, which does not seem to match any GM block casting number from any listing I can find from any source. Does anybody have any idea what this casting number represents to help identify this big block motor in this chevelle? Any help would be great for this weird casting number.
Thank you in advance for the help.
