Number on engine.
While I was tinkering on my engine tonight I noticed a number on a pad in the front of the block. The number is 1M0 5MP. What does that number mean?
Thanks

Why is the 302 a valuable motor? I can remember them being very common place.

Mike thanks for the info. The casting number on the back pad is 10066036 and according to mortec it a 350...........2 or 4...Target Master/Goodwrench crate motor, 2-piece rear seal, "Hecho en Mexico"

My engine-casting number book lists the 3914678 block for my 327 as also applying to 68-69 302 camaro/z28 in addition to other passenger cars and trucks.
A302 is just a de-stroked 327/350 right? It was fairly high reving performance engine for the z28 if I remember.

Blue...the ford 302 is as common as parking lot gravel...and all chevy verses ford stuff asside, a good little motor too.
The Chevy 302 was only built for the first gen camaros, and only installed in Z-28 optioned cars. While it was basicly a destroked 327...it was quite a bit more involved than that. |

By the way what is a target master?
target master was a performance street small block that chevy used to make (or maybe they still do) it was a factory crate motor. it wasn't factory equipment on any car , you had to get them from a chevy dealer. they are pretty good little small blocks for a street engine.

a performance rep[lacement motor?
I thought it was more of a generic replacement motor for anything from the family station wagon to work truck motor. |

(lots of torque and ponies) i have never tried to buy one, so i was assuming the performance part, as far as how chevrolet classified it. i would like to have a new one for the old rust bucket but i have to settle for rebuilding the big block i got from cadiac ....

You can buy a Goodwrench engine for about 1200 bucks from your local dealership. They are a good quality, 4 bolt main 350 engine, 100 percent brand new with 3 year 50k mile warranty.
They are dead nuts generic though. Not a performance engine by any means.

I have a crate motor in my lifted 68 and it runs fairly well. IMO any 350 71 and earlier will out run the reg. non-al head crate motors hands down. I have been spoiled by too many GM BBs
so SBs are OK but once you have had a tatse of BB torque, MMM MMM good!

You know Mike, I've heard that stuff about big blocks my whole life.
I built a couple of these trucks with big blocks, one a 396 and the other a 454. It's just not for me. I like small blocks, I can afford small blocks, and they're much easier to do. All the accesories are so much easier to find for a small block. Neither of my big blocks (both bone stock internally) were very impressive.

Note I posted GM BB motors. OLDS 455, Buick 455, Caddy 472+500 and once a 425 Olds in a short bed 79 Chevy. These are more the BB I have used in trucks. I fooled around a lot at Oxford Plains Dragstrip when younger. Chevys can be built up, I did not want to spend a lot so I went with the other GM BBs. Now I do keep the original small blocks in the trucks and agree with you 100% on your opinion on small blocks. Thanks for your input Kevin. ![]()

I have put many Targetmaster 366 in school buses and the Targetmaster IS just a very nice crate engine, not performance but easy to install. Its pretty much complete less intake and accessories.
