How to decode the engine #'s?
Hi Guys,
I picked up a 73 coupe a few weeks back and cannot make any sense of the engine #'s.
It reads V0830TMX
I think it is safe to say this is not an original engine for this vette.
Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.

V factory code for Flint, Michigan engine assembly plant.
0830 engine assembly date August 30 You'll have to have the casting date to determine the year.
TMX engine identification suffix decodes as 74-77 truck 350, 160 hp
You are correct; it's not a Corvette engine, but it is a 350.
