Engine ID?
Happy New Year!!!!!! Now, I was wondering if someone could help me ID an engine I found today while "browsing" at the "junkyard". The casting number is: 3970010 and there is a number stamped on the front of the engine on a "tab" near the timimg chain cover which is: 12B571236 K12 02 CKD. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Double check the numbers that start with 12B. Part of that number is date code and part is VIN # to match to car it came from.
The rest of the numbers break down as follows.
K1202 K= Canada 12= Dec. 02 = 2nd day of the month.
CKD common suffix code used 72-74 for Camaro, Chevelle, Impala, and Nova.
Known in some applications as an L-48.
3970010. Very common casting number for a 350 block. (also used for the 302), many HP possibilities and used on 2 & 4 bolt blocks.
Hope this helps
