'73 - Do these numbers match?
I'm looking at buying a 73 and the best I can get from the guy is the following:
VIN# 1z37j3s414879
Engine 3970010
Trans 73 ck 7559
I'm reasonably confident the engine is a match but I can't find a good reference to confirm the trans. Other than to assume the leading 73 means it is a '73 trans?
He says it is a 350cu engine with a 350 trans turbo.
Can anybody confirm?

The VIN looks good, The engine block casting number is correct. The transmission code is a TH400 for a L48 engine. You need to get the engine codes from the stamp pad, engine ID: V----CLA or V----CLC if a California car, and VIN derivative, on the front of the engine passenger side and the transmission VIN derivative from the drivers side at the rear of the transmission. The VIN derivative should be 13S414879. Also the trim tag date code should be either G13 or G14.
