i have a mystery block in my 69 camaro. i have no build sheet for my car. i've read a lot of documentation on z-28's and ss's , but are there any ways to identify lower models i.e. lm/1's & l/65's
the block casting date is 3970010
the stamping is KO1 15 TJZ
i don't believe this is my original block but i would kinda like to know where it cam from. i'd like a roller cam and don't want to cut this block if its valuable to someone else.

my car is:
vin# 124379N626671
st69 12437 nor291104bdy
tr 712 63 63 pnt
03e x-44

I've got a TJZ block as a 1973 2WD 1/2 and 3/4 ton truck, 155hp.

Well at least it's a 350. I would say cut away! I don't think anyone is missing that engine too much! :thumbsup:

Same block casting number I am building my 383 around. Mine is a "high nickel" variant, 4-bolt mains.
