I am going to buy an motor hopefully this weekend. If I could get some help on the numbers it would be appreciated. Start Heads 3973487 A41 GM7 other head 3973487 A31 GM22.
Block information (I hope these make sense) 3970010 A211 GM V0123TBC(I origionally thought the suffix was IBC but I did not see that code) 12 242 2 010 H31not sure of the 1.
I was told block and heads from same engine late model truck. I did check and think heads from 71-72 350 LT1. I would like to know if these all were from the same engine and is the block a 350. Let me know if I need to check any other numbers. thanks mike
Heads:
3973487 - 71/72 350
A41 - date January 4, 1971
A31 - date January 3, 1971
GM7/GM22 - casting mold numbers
Block:
3970010 - Late 1969 to 1975 350: A211 - date Jan 21, 1971
V0123TBC - Flint, MI. Jan 23 350/255hp (only TBC suffix code I find is 1970 & 1979 though - could just be an incomplete list on nastyZ28.com.)
12 242 2 010 H31not sure of the 1. - ??? where are these numbers located?
Impossible to know if they're from the same Flint built engine since Flint didn't cast their own parts like Tonawanda, but casting dates are close enough to be a possiblity.
