Default What car is this engine from?

Based on the engine stamp, am I correct in identifying this engine as a 1973 350 auto (145hp) from a Camaro/Firebird/Nova?

Stamp: 13N160421 T0403CKW

Probably a Nova. The Lime Book does not list CKW for Camaro/Firebird.

Gotcha. Thanks! Based on the VIN stamp am I right in that it is a 73 built in Norwood?

Kinda bummed to see how much less HP it has than the original 350 with the th400. (72 Vette)

What's the Lime Book?
