Help identifying this engine?
It's installed in a 1974 C3 coupe...
Engine casting: 3970014
Casting date: E24 73
Engine ID: T0602CKW
Partial VIN: 13L229592
Thinking this engine block was never in a corvette.
Thanks,

Hi b,
The CKW broadcast code was used 3 times.
72 Corvette 200hp, 4-speed
73 Camaro and Nova 145 hp, automatic
76 Corvette 180 hp, 4-speed.
The block casting number was used interchangeably with the more common 010 block. I believe it began to be seen in Corvettes during 72 model year production.
Regards,
Alan
I believe the 014 block was cast at Tonawanda not Flint.

On the drivers side door jam by the dash there is a metal tag commonly referred to the trim tag. On the tag is the exterior and interior colors. Post them up
