Technical Help identifying my engine please

I have a small lock (I believe) with block numbers 3970010 near the bell housing and in the front behind the alternator V0210TKS and just below that number is 73514142. Can anyone please help me?

 

3970010
69-79
302/350
car & Truck 2 & 4-Bolt Most common

 

74 TO 80 truck/van 350 according to the suffix code.

 

Corvette. ALL small block Chevies came from corvettes if you ask the sellers.

 

As said before it is a very common small block. Your stamping numbers may be off though.

V0210TKS is an engine from Flint made February 10th, TKS is a van, bus or truck cab.

73514142 may be 18S14142 which would be a 1978 Chevy from St Louis.

So, probably a truck or van engine. Nothing special, but if it is rebuildable, still very much usable.

 

Does no one have Google anymore? Do your your own simple research!

 

Easy does it honcho.... Some of us like these threads....

 

Mine came out of a vette after it came out of a truck

 

Mine went into a vette after it came out of a impala
So it is now a vette engine

Ever notice no one brags about a vette wheel bearing

 

I head a Vette steering wheel in a Belair once.......

 

Saw a Craigslist ad one time for a Corvette that they said the engine came out of a school bus! Don’t think I’d told that even if I knew it to be true!

 

There is a character missing, there should be 3 such as 18S then 6 numbers....

those first three tell you what it is.
First digit 1=Chevy truck, C=Chevy car, T=GMC truck, 2=Pontiac, etc.
Second digit is the last digit of the year, and we know it's from 74-79 from other clues
3rd digit is the vehicle assembly plant, there are several possibilities

 

My bus has a vette sbc

 

I had a 58 Vette with a motor from a sprint car.....odd ball cam......ya never know.
