Another "help me with my casting numbers" post...
Hey all,
Through searching I learned where to fine some casting numbers, but I'm not real sure what they mean, especially the intake numbers.
Where can I find the "352" or "105"?
Where is the date code for the heads?
Here is what I have so far:
Intake on the back edge near the firewall 9B17. Behind the carb it has C80E-9425 C. Are these numbers significant? Click for Pic 1 and Click for Pic 2
Block, passenger side front D3TE Click for Pic
Block near the oil filter, looks like 4B23 or 4B28. I have no clue what this means. Click for Pic
Heads D2TEEA, which I learned are nothing fantasic Click for Pic
.

The 352 0r 105 is located on the front upper left side of the block. The date codes for the heads are between the center 2 valve springs. The C8OE-9425-C is a cast iron 428CJ intake. 9B17 is the intakes date code of 69/Feb/17th. D3TE is the blocks casting number. The 4B23 or 28 is the blocks date code of 74/Feb/23rd or 28th depending on the exact number. The 2 dots under the 4 denote it's a 74 casting. 69 and later date codes used these 2 dots to decipher them from earlier castings.

Congrats on the intake, other than it's weight, it's one of the better FE intakes. You've got a bit of a port mismatch though where the intake meets the heads. The CJ ports are deeper than the ports on the D2TE heads.

Thanks for the great info! I think this engine is a 360, I still have to measure the stroke. I have another engine that I know is a 390, and now that I know a little bit about what these numbers mean, I will get them from my 390 and see what I have there.
