This is what my list said for the block:

3970010
302/350
69-79
145-370 hp
car & Truck
2 & 4-Bolt
Most common

This is what the suffix code reads:

TJZ
73 350 Truck
155 hp
LS-9
TH 350
4-Brl
C 10 & C 20

Thank you very much for the info.

Do you know if this is a standard block or a tall block. I read a thread a couple of weeks ago about a tall block not fitting in a vette.

Thanks again.

I believe that is the same block number 3970010 that came with my 69 vette 350 / 350 and it sure fits.

Standard Block. Good block to build. High tin block, very durable. I am building a 73 4 bolt L82 Engine into a 383 stroker right now. Tall block refers to Big blocks
