From what I was told was a 350 4-bolt main, here's what I've got so far:
3970010
I68 date code (looks like a 1, but figured it was an "I"),
V0913TBM
T97501310
Is this correct? A '69 truck engine (Sept. 6, 1968) with a VIN of 501310. I could not figure out the location for code #7. Is there anything else you can tell from these numbers?
The heads have:
3782461 on both of them, and have date codes of:
A29 5 & A28 5.
Are these January 28th and 29th, 1965 from Flint Michigan?
They don't have any bolt holes (for the accessories). I was told they were 2.02 camelback heads. Anyway to verify the 2.02? Do you just pull a valve out and measure it with calipers? I've got the covers off. I've read they could either be 1.94/1.50's or 2.02/1.60's with either 161/62cc or 160/62cc port volumes and either 62cc or 64cc combustion chambers. Kind of confusing.
Also, any idea what these are worth if I were to sell them? I was thinking of selling the heads on ebay, and trying to find someone around town to buy the block (because of the cost of shipping). Will engine builders (companies) buy the block at anything close to what it's worth? I was told probably a couple of hundred for the heads, I don't know what the block is worth, if anything, due to the block being mangled when a rod broke loose. I was able to continue driving it about a block to get it home. There is a small chunk taken out where the oilpan bolts on (see pic). If the cylinder walls are good, is the block probably okay? Is it worth anything more than just scrap metal at my local metal recycling yard? Is there anything else I can salvage from this? The crank? Thanks for any help.
