1969 chevy block
HELP!!! The code on the right cylinder head is "V0826WH". All i can find is that it is a 69 model block. Book said either 350 from a 69 pickup, or a 302 from a 69 camaro. It is a 4 bolt main. Can someone straiten me out here??? Thanks!!!Last edited by WILDMAN 4180; 02-09-2015 at 04:13 PM. Reason: MIS POSTED CODE

Welcome to CHR!
Don’t think you've got a ’69 302 as they were all DZ codes. Other factory 302 codes are: MP, MO, MI, CAN and CNB. I’m not familiar with KU other that it being a rear end code for 1967 Chevelles. Could you post the entire number and maybe a picture?

You might consider running an ad in Hemmings Motor News and see if you get any bites.

Correction on 1969 block
The code on the right cylinder head is "v0826wh". All i can find is that it is a 69 model block. Book said either 350 from a 69 pickup, or a 302 from a 69 camaro. It is a 4 bolt main. Can someone straiten me out here??? Thanks!!!

Okay here's the decipher:
V = Assembled in Flint, MI
08 = August
26 = 26th day of the month
WH = was used in 1966 for 283 Powerglide transmission, 1968 for 307 manual transmission and in 1969 for 350 manual transmission.
WH suffix was only used for truck - never in a production car. If it has a 3.875" bore x 3.00" stroke it is a 283. A 3.875" x 3.25" is a 307 and a 4.00" bore it is a 350."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil

But did they ever cast a 4 bolt main in a 283 or a 307?

No - if you have verified it's a 4 bolt, it's from a 1969 350 truck."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil
