Are you sure that you have these correct? They are a little onconsistant with the coding scheme, I would recommend you go back and take a closer look. They can be hard to read....

065S10275 (digits here out of place and the 0 does not belong, no GM divison 0, only 1-7), 1=Chev 5=GMC
This is supposed to have the GM division, model year, assembly plant and last 6 sequence digits from the vin (i.e. Matching numbers engine)[expample 10S102750]

O819TXB (digits are missing here)
Supposed to have 8 or 9 (in this case) digits, the engine plant, date MMDD and the engine type designation (suffix code), 2 or 3 digits. The first digit of the type designation will always be a "C" or "Z" to desingate a car engine or a "T" or "A" to designate a truck engine. This coding scheme came into existance with the 1970 models.

TXB
1975 Chev or GMC 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickup truck 350-160 H.P.
1976-77 Chev or GMC 1/2 & 3/4 ton pickup truck 350-165 H.P. RPO LS9 in '76-77

thanks, had an idea it was out of a mid 70's truck but was not sure. Someone had the motor blueprinted and balanced, and i believe that they shaved a little off the block also. Someone might have restamped them, and made a mistake. The numbers i posted are right. I checked them again. Again thanks for your help in unraveling exactly what the he!! I have in my camaro.
