Hi 72P,
Not sure what if anything you're asking?
The suffix code... CGV... Indicates a 1970, 454 c.i./345 h.p., engine, built with a 4 barrel carburetor, for use with a manual transmission, in a passenger (full size) car.
Regards,
Alan

Hi 72,
It appears a 512 block would have been the basis for the 454 engine used in your 72 if it was a bb car.
The stamp:
Are you sure about the second T?
Might it be a 1 or an I used as a 1?
Typically:
T... Tonawanda
01 through 12... the month the engine was assembled
01 through 31... the day the engine was assembled.
3 letters... Broadcast Code
Regards,
Alan
Here's an example of the configuration for a bb stamp. (68-69 engines used a 2 letter broadcast code). Note the 2nd character. It's a 1.... so November 29 for the assembly date of this engine.
