Help with engine #
G'day,
Can anyone please help me identify a Chev engine? The # I have been given is V0622YJA. I only have a "Corvette ID Numbers" book and can't find the YJA suffix there, so guess it's from a passenger car, etc.
I've worked out that the engine was built in Flint on June 22, but as to the year, ????????? I figured that if I could find the suffix, that might give me a year and the type of car in which it was fitted.
The engine is in Australia.
Thanks guys, it's over to you.
Regards from Down Under

Thank you
Thanks, Warrior. Further info says that it "MAY" be TJA and it is in a boat. Perhaps it's a marine stamping.

More info
Hey guys,
Thanks for the help. I have more info, it was fitted to a boat with a V-drive and has a casting # 10066036 and "GM HECHO EN MEXICO" cast into it. I forgot about the date casting, it's on the bellhousing flange to the right of the distributor, isn't it?
I'm trying to provide information to a Government department in another state and just want to make sure I get all the info I can, and get it right.
I'll keep watching this space.
