Hi, I have an 80 with a engine transplant. It's a 350 and I have taken these numbers off the right side of block below front cylinder head-0213ckd. The other number is off the left side of block near bellhousing. It is-3970010. I have done a bit of research and can only determine that it may be a 72-77 block. I was wondering what my timing should be at also for this engine. Thanks for any help, Jay

Icome up with a 1977, ckd=350, 180 HP, at= automatic,ha= high altitude. Not sure what the 0213 means unless it was a replacement block. You might want to ask other 77 owners for engine timing or other info.

Default Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!!

Still a little confused as to what year. The car is from california and originally had the 305 according to vin numbers. Maybe it is the 73? Jay
