Default Small Block Suffix "DTW"????

The motor is in a '75, but obviously not original. Stamp pad says T6209DTW. I cannot find DTW in any of my books or usual sources, (mortec, etc.). Anybody know? Thanks.

There are lots of assembly stamp suffixes that are not found in the hot rodders library references. Heavy duty trucks and marine uses are frequently difficult to track down. Get the block casting number and date cast code and maybe we can narrow it down a bit.

I did'nt see "DTW" either, but all the "DT_" series motors were 305ci used in 1979 ONLY. There were 16 "DT_" motors going from "DTA" to "DTZ" with "10" missing. "DTW" is one of the missing.
