VIN #s
I have looked at the block in my truck and the block # reads that it could be either a 305,327,or 350. Is there a way to tell which engine came with the truck by looking at the vin? I am not sure of how to read the vin.

Re: VIN #s
Nothing in the VIN but a letter designant for number of cylinders.You need to go by the engine numbers.

Re: VIN #s
If it's a 68 it shouldn't have a 350.

Re: VIN #s
You will need the following numbers located on your block ....
* Pass. side on engine boss just in front of the head you will find numbers/ letters stamped into the block these numbers/letters will tell you what the block is. * Back of block just below the distributor is a cast (raised) set of numbers these will tell you the year your engine was cast. * Drivers side rear just opposite the numbers by the distributor are a cast set of numbers that will tell you the family group. ********************************************************** I do not have a book pertaining to your engine .... these numbers will give you the info. that you will need to source your engine. esll.
