Started ripping out the engine today to clean it paint it put on a new set of heads, new cam, intake and carb.

When i checked the casting numbers on the heads i found something interesting:
the casting number is 3947041, I did a lil research and found out:
3947041....69-70...302/350......"Right angle" casting identifier, 64cc chamber, accessory holes, good HP head
Not a bad stock casting, so then I figured check the engine casting, the casting number is 3956618 which could be a 302, 327 or a 350 block. So i wanted to look further, found the ENGINE ASSEMBLY DATE/SUFFIX CODE, the Suffix code is HB:
code - HB year - 1969 C.I.D - 350 Trans. - tur hydro trans. H.P. - 300 carb - 4bbl
So the engine is out of a 69 camaro, RPO code L-48 which is a 350ci, 10.25 : 1 comp. - 300hp and 380ft/lbs of torque.
Not a bad engine to get with the car. with the new cam, heads, intake and bigger carb, this engine should run hard. more pics to come......
