engine decoding please!
Hello everybody,
Trying to figure out where my engine came from and what car it belonged to before it got to mine.
Engine ID code: v0711tjc
Block number: 3970010 GM 34
I was able to find this in regards to the engine suffix:
TJC 1973 350 conv.cab - 160 4 C-20 to 3500
but i am confused about the block number. I researched it can it came up with a 69 camaro? and also i saw on another side one where it belonged to a 68 vette? Do the engine id code and block n umber tie in together? which one is more important to look at.
Any help is appeciated.....thank you
Andy

0711 is the date it was machined and assembled at Flint (July 11)
Engine suffix of TJC indicates it a truck engine.
