That head number was used from '75-86, 76cc smog head, so by the date code J84, I would say that they were cast in Sept-08-1984.

The block suffix code TJX was used in '72 for a 307, '73 and '78 in 350s for trucks. What is the block casting number and date code?
The CA number is probably the VIN number.

I found the casting numbers on the block the only problem is they are unreadable it looks like someone intentionally damaged the at some point in time.
The date code is G289
Can anyone tell me what the block is that I have does it have 4 bolt mains and what type of pistons did it orginally have... I just want to know if this motor is possibly worth trying to build for more power
