I have recently purchased a 72 coupe with a 350 auto. I am trying to identify the engine but can't seem to find what I need. I understand it to be a GM crate engine. The numbers stamped on the block are V1111ZZ3. V=Flint; 11=November?; not sure if I even have that right. If it means anything it has aluminum heads, Chev aluminum intake with Rochester Quadrajet. Appreciate any help any help or suggestions you might have.

Thanks
Greg

A couple of pics will help a lot,take a look at the GMPP catalog,it should point you in the right direction if it is one of their crate engines.
