Thanks in advance

Delete all the gobbledygook and post a picture of the plate.

In your first post, hit edit, and then highlight all the text and hit the delete key or backspace. Type any three letters or more and then save. You can't delete the original post but you can delete the data.

The only info I can decode is V0512KHH per the NCRS Pocket Guide

The engine was assembled on May 12th and it's either:

KH 350HP, 1x4BC, Hi-Lift, K19, A/C, P/S & 4-speed
or

HH 300HP, x4BC, K19, & Manual Trans

K19 = Air Injection Reactor

I don't know why there are three letters after the assembly date, usually there are just two.

I deleted out all that text, it was resulting from trying to paste a picture or some other method.
