Default Motor Identification ???

I have a motor I believe to be an L82...

Stamped on the block,(Rt-front)

V0410CKC
15S423395

Head casting # 333882

It has 4 bolt mains, forged crank and pushrod guide plates...

Any idea about the heads, would these be 2.02 or 1.94 valves ?

Looking for any information available for this motor.

I'm not an expert at this stuff either but from what I can decode the front pad stamp and the head casting numbers are correct but I couldn't find that engine block casting number. Maybe someone else can help with that.

Front Pad - V0410CKC = Flint Plant, April 10th, Corvette L82 / TH350
(Other possible applications were Nova, Chevelle, and Impala.)

Head Casting - 333882 - 350 / 400 - 1970 / 1980 - 1.94 / 1.50 - 76cc

The block appears to be a Corvette L82 block.

This narrows it down to 1975 Corvette serial number 23395. The CKC would be L82 w/auto transmission, federal smog, 205hp 4 bbl carb.

I believe it should have the large valves.

Default Heads and Valves

I was hoping the valves would be the larger of the choice...
We'll see, I'll have to get in there anyway to be sure all is well with the rotating assy...

It has all the right make up so far, it's been re-done once has a "Crane" stick... don't know what yet.

Bought this with an ElCamino, a project gone astray... sold the car kept the motor

Just looking for the right opportunity to put this together correctly and play...

Thanks for all the responses... really helps.
