look for casting numbers like c6ae and such. C is the 60s, d is the 70s. 6 is the year like 1966. The rest is worthless for the most part. look on the heads, intake, and below the starter for some casting. The trick is to look for the last casting year.

1964 289 4bbl 210hp
1965-1967 289 2bbl 200hp
4bbl 225hp
4bbl k code 271hp
1968 289 2bbl 195hp
