Block # help???
Can anyone point me in a direction here? On a 79 L82 non-matching how can you determine if it is a L82 block? The #'s on the frt below the head are V0206TYX,50137. Casting # on the drivers side rear is 897000. Is this an L82 transplant or just a plain Jane 350?

I think that you have a 3970010 which could be either a 2 or a 4-bolt block. My 383 stroker is built on a 3970010 block and it's a 4-bolt

Re: Block # help??? (GrandSportC3)
You are correct it is 3970010. Is there anything that the #'s on the frt of the block tells you? I guess my question is anyway to to determine 2 or 4 bolt from those #'s?

This list all the suffixes found on the right frt pad under the head and the use of the motor originally. Which in this case is from a 1975 1/2 or 3/4 ton pickup :nonod:

Re: Block # help??? (GrandSportC3)
here's a neat trick:
Actually you CAN tell if a block is a 4 or 2 bolt, just by opening your hood.
Look at the pad where the waterpump connects to the block on the
passenger side. If it is a narrow pad that sticks out a little over an inch,
its is a 2 bolt. If it is a wide pad that sticks out about 1/2 inch, it is a
4 bolt. No kidding. :smash: :smash: :cheers: :cool:
