Thread: what engine do i have????

Tweet

just bought a "350" so i was told here are the numbers that came off the block
off the back of the block
855909
B2 78
T7
00NV2
off the front of the block
16B575153
T0428CPB
i have checked all numbers and letters several times and i know the one off the block are vin and id numbers but can't find out what the engine suffix is "CPB" means. Could someone help me verify what i have. thank you for your time

1976 camaro, nova, or chevelle with a 305 140 hp turbo 350 trans 2bbl federal emissions
OR 1980 chevelle 267 cubic inches 120 hp turbo 350 trans federal emissions

there are no casting numbers remotely close to what you posted, sorry

I couldn't find the casting numbers either

thanks guys i believe its a 305 cause the heads casting "14014416" is for a 305. But that's saying its the original heads. i couldn't find the casting number either.

Casting 1404416 is a 1980-86 305 head with 59cc chamber so it did not come
with the block.....and a 267 had a different casting number. Someone has changed
heads on this block at some time.

i figured that put but i would to know why i cant find anything off the blocks casting number or the block vin number

its a 305 change the 855909 to 355909 and you get this
1976-85 355909 305 - - 2 A
and since the building stamp is B2 78 it not a 262.

IF you paid for a 350 and got a 305, the seller should refund at least 2/3 of your money.....maybe more. The 305 crank is the same stroke as a 350 but the counterweights are different.....not much salvageable off a 305 block/heads/internals.
