Decoding 1969 350ci. question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mykids69 · 03-08-2019, 01:42 AM

I am having a hard time decoding this block stamp. I thought I figured it out and then I got stuck.

VIII5WK

I know the V means Flint
I know the WK is the 350ci. 255 hp 4 bolt.

It may look like I typed three "ones" but they are Capitol "i's"!

The second picture is the casting number which I already decoded.

This is the original engine that came out of my son's 69. 3rd picture.

This is what we have in there right now. 4th & 5th picture.

Can anyone shed some light on the tripple "i's"?

Thank you!

Jason
