Please help with 350 block...

[William V.]

Can any help me identify where the 350 block and heads, that I removed from a 76 c3, came from. The engine was built as a 383 stroker. The block is 4 bolt main part number 3970010. The stamp pad has K1214TYC / 084126019.

The head's (part number 333882) are closed chambered, screw in valve studs and 202 intake valves.


Thanks

Bill

It's a 350 built at McKinnon Industries, originally installed in a '78 Chevy Van built at Scarborough, Ontario.
