Engine number
Purchased 64 conv with a replaecedengine. I know the meanings of the numbers from the front fo the engine, T1201HC, however there a second set there as well, 8Y139076. I can't find information related to this second set. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

8 = 1968
Y = Wilmington, Delaware Vehicle Assembly Plant
139076 = last 6 digits of the VIN of the car this engine was installed in.
Wilmington built full size passenger cars (Impala, Caprice, etc.) in 1968.

Thanks, found the the third number on the block (3914660) and it is a 1968 small block V8 327 2 bolt and apparently, according to all the posted information it came out of an Impala or Caprice and used as a replacement in this 64 Corvette.
