Re: Engine code info
Come on guys someone has got to be able to tell me what these numbers mean. From what I can tell, and what I have been told, the engine was built in February on the 13th or the 19th of 1973. It's a warranty replacement block that was used in truck applications.
I have no idea what the "T12" means that the seller found on the rear of the block and I have no idea about the specifics of the motor (horsepower, compression ratio; etc.)
The head casting number (3964290) shows that they are oval port, closed chamber heads used in 1969-70 on the 396, 402, 427 and 454 engines. They have 101cc combustion chambers. Could these be the original heads for the car?
Any additional information that you could provide would be appreciated; I am scheduled to go look at the car next Saturday and would like to have a better idea of what engine is in the car.
