Default Engine code 195705739 VT0T7HX

Hello all,

I have a 1969 coupe, 350 4-speed which I believe is the 350HP engine type. On the front right of the block are stamped the codes in the title to this thread. I've tried to ID the engine without success. Can anybody help? The center console in the car does identify it as a 350HP 11:1 compression engine but I want to be sure.

Thanks,

Phil

The 195705739 should match the VIN of the car.

The VT0T7HX is probably V1017HZ

V= Flint MI engine plant
1017= engine assembled October 17
HZ= 1969 base engine 300 HP with auto transmission.

More than likely it's 19S705739 which like Mike said, should match your VIN.

V1017HX would be a 350/350 with 4 speed and A/C. Do you have both of these?

Yes - I have both 4spd and AC. Looks like it is a 350HP. Thanks very much for the feedback.

Thanks Mike. I asked Ed and I'll ask you too: What reference info did you use? I know there's books available from Chevy which have this information available but I couldn't find my code online.

Phil, the "Chevrolet by the Numbers" series by Alan Colvin is probably the best for engine codes, casting numbers, and a lot more. There are 4 in the series (not including the one just for Corvettes) and they're available in most restoration houses. Highly recommended!

I had an NCRS (Hey look- I said it and didn't burst into flames ) book next to me at the time, but there's many on-line guides that have all GM codes and not just Corvette. Knowing how to initially breakdown the alpha numeric code to extract just the machine code is important too.

This one is good:
