ok I had alot of trouble trying to get to the casting number, it's just to tight of a space.
I did manage to get the number of the front pad on the passenger side though.Or at least I think I did, it said
K06 30 CGC
Does this tell us anything?

0630 = June 30, 1971 (engine build date)
CGC = 1971 350ci Impala, Chevelle or Camaro 245hp
L65 3Spd or TH350 trans 2Brl carb Hyd Cam
Casting number is probably 3970010 ...

Yes, that's a strange looking build stamp. I really haven't seen all that
many McKinnon stamps to render a verdict, but find it hard to think
otherwise. Who would want to restamp a 245hp with automatic tranny anyhow??
The intake manifold 3919803 is vintage 1968 327/350ci, so junkyard artwork
is as good a description as any ...

I agree on the junkyard artwork conclusion. The casting number did turn out to be 3970010. I'm guessing these are really common cores? Anyway thanks for helping me guys
