only # i can get to right now..VI212HM..is this a 69 motor? thanks

HM is a suffix for a 69 passenger car with a 350 250 HP with an auto tranny You need the casting # to confirm it.Also could be a 65 or 68 327ci.

Could be a 1969 model year engine, but the 'HM' suffix was used for several years.
Here is a link to suffix decode info - http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-chevy-codes/chevy-engine-codes-suffix-5.php

The suffix would decode as:
V = Flint engine assembly
12 = December (1968)
12 = Day of month
HM = State of Tune for assembly - see info for possible uses.

Hope this helps;

ill get casting # tomm..thanks guys..

ill get casting # tomm..thanks guys..

Could you also get the vin# on the engine pad?

yeah sure..ddint have time today but will get tomm..need to do some motor work anyhow..

here's what was on front pad....18F154918 VI212HM

here's what was on front pad....18F154918 VI212HM

Here's a decode of that partial VIN number:
1 = Chevrolet Division of GM
8 = 1968 year model
F = Flint, Michigan final assembly plant
154918 = sequencial vehicle number for registration - last part of the actual VIN.

the V1212HM would then be:
V = Flint engine assembly
12 = December assembly month
12 = 12th day of month
HM = 327ci, 250 HP, 4 barrel carb, TurboHydramatic 350 automatic in a Full Size passenger car.

So there you have it, it's a 1968 327 block. It could be the 4" block has now been fitted with a different crank during a rebuild. You will have to dig into it a bit to know for sure what you now have.

Hope this helps;

Would it be possible to get the casting number on the back of the block. I am wondering if it is a 3914660 or 3914678 block.
