Need help on engine ID
The block casting # is 361959 454 1973-1985
I cant' get to the date codes on the back of the motor so I'm trying to determine engine year by pad stamp.
It is either C7F136354 or possibly
07F136354
Also, I pulled a plug out for a looks. The only ID marks on the plug are "AC 1"
I always thought 454's used either R43T or R44T. What's up with that?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Is that the only number stamped into the pad?
That one looks like a partial VIN to me. I think the F means it was built in Flint but other than that I think you need the other stamping if it exists. Otherwise you will need those cat dates in the back.
