V02071KY
V=Flint engine plant
0207=assembly date, Feb 7th
1KY=usage suffix, should be three letters.

Cannot find an IKY or JKY or LKY. Can you check the number to confirm what the digit befor the K is?

Could it be TKY? If so, the TKY suffix was used three time.

1974 350/160hp truck engine
1978 350/165hp truck engine (LS9)
1980 350/165hp truck engine (LS9)
