Just picked up a 1975 C3 today. It is an original L82. It has the correct L82 VIN#. my question is about the engine number.

The first set of numbers match the VIN#,...all good,..verifying it is in fact a true matching number L82 car and engine.

However,..the last set of numbers on the engine has me stumped. As best I can make out,...the last set of numbers is VO312CHO.

Does this sound right? If so, what does this number sequence mean?

There isn't any CHO suffix. Take a better look, it's probably CHC if you have a manual transmission.

Thanks,...YES, it's a manual trans. What about the V0312?
