That is a truck motor! Specifically a Canadian (K) made 1975 165hp 350 with a 4 barrel carb out of a C-20 to 3500 truck. 071186428 is the partial vin number to the original vehicle.

071186428 is the VIN derivative but the 0 should be a C.

C - Chevrolet Truck Division of GM
7 - Model year is 1977
1 - Oshawa Ontario Canada is the final assembly plant
186428 - is the production serial number, being the 86,428 Chevy truck built at Oshawa for 1977, so this would have been built late in the 1977 model year, July 1977.

K0713TXR
K - McKinnion Ind Ste Catherine's
07 - Built in July (engine that is)
13 - on 13th day of month
TXR - 1977 350--165 hp with TH350 transmission and 4-bbl carb, 3/4 and 1 ton truck

Thanks guys,I suspected it was. I could not break it down as far as you did. Actually it runs very good with the cam and 041 heads. It is out of the car now and a 400 HP SBC is waiting to go in after I detail the engine compartment. Great site!
