I recently received a Chevy small block, and am trying to figure out more information about it, as in: year of production, cubic inch, application, and number of main caps. The number on the rear, driver's side of the block is: 4010207. On the sides of the block: CFD 207. Mortech says that it is an 80s 350, but doesn't say how many mains or what the application was. Thanks. Dane
on the passenger side of the block, right in front of the head, there will be a flat surface run the numbers from there it will give you more info.
By that casting number I'd say you can't see a "1" in front of it. Casting number 14010207 is a 80-85 350 Chevy light duty truck or passenger car,Malibu or Camaro.
I have found the same block I think. The casting number says, "4010207." There is no "1" in front nor does it look ground off. There are other numbers on the block the front of the motor has a "g22" cast into it, the top rear has "71 cfd" it also has "H36 201" and "207" cast into it. I have had no luck finding what this is and it also has four bolt mains.
