Thread: Engine and Tranny I.D. (HELP!!!)

Tweet

I recently purchased a 1966 Chevy Caprice. I have decided to restore it and have begun the process. It used to have a 327 but has been replaced with what I believe is a 350! After pulling the engine and tranny today, I wrote the numbers down and hope you all can help me I.D. them so I can start the rebuild! Here are the numbers:

Engine:

3970010 (the 1 caould also be: A/M/H/I ???)

V0808TKT

Tranny:

CFM 8640831 GM-2



Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!

3970010 block is a four inch bole large main bearing unit produced from late 68 into the late seventies. It is one of the most common of these blocks. It was used as 302-327-350 base. As for the trans what is the shape of the pan? square (powerglide) or square with one corner cut short (350 turbo).

The tranny is square with like a 45 degree angle cut on the one corner.

So the block is a 350? If so, then what is the VO8OTKT mean?

Thanks for all the help!

Everytime I try to get parts the "parts guy" always asks for the year and make. I can't give the actuall info because a 350 isn't an option.
