Engine Serial Number ID Help
I ran the casting numbers through Mortec. Although I would like more info via the serial #s. Does anyone have a link to search these #'s.
Also for some reason I though only vette's had dual serial numbers, I know this was not an original motor. I must be mistaken on that fact?
I just sold a project vette and am trying to give the new owner some motor info. I did the motor swap 20 yrs ago and cant remember specifics.
T4U512163 V0305TKL
Thanks in advance,
Denis

you'll need to check the casting number and casting date to see if it's the 1978 or 1980 Truck engine ...

(I'm not familiar with truck serial numbers, but I believe the 12,163 is the actual serial number)
