Stamped on the front pad on a 427 block with cast code 3963512. Once again..engine code CF. I'm looking at an L71 project that has this (NOM) motor included. Thanks

If it's a 512 block look again. The code is probably CE. Stands for counter exchange or Chevrolet engineering or Crate engine depending on who you ask. Over the counter replacement block or engine. No CF listed in my chilton's book.

Shoot! I thought "CF" meant 'Corvette Fast'.
