I need to identify (by means of numbers) a '73 Corvette engine. What would be block casting and pad letter/numbers?

Hello,
There is a web site called 1973-corvette.com

Here is the link.

http://www.1973-corvette.com/

This site has technical information on the 1973 vette, including some of the VIN numbers and RPO codes.


This site MORTEC.COM has specific information on casting numbers for all chevy engines, and where to locate the stamping information.

http://www.mortec.com/


I hope you can find what you need at either of those two sites.
