73 or 79 Engine?
The casting # is V307TJA. So it's either:
1. 1973 350 conv.cab 2. 1979 350 frwd cab. a/t L LS9 I can't see the number on the back of the block to confirm the build year. Anybody have any tips on how to determine which motor it is? It's in a 72 GMC that had points and I have switched it to HEI. What is a conv.cab and a frwd cab? Thanks!

Conventional cab and Forward cab. Conventional being a standard cab behind engine setup, forward cab being a cabover, basically. Probably a box truck, or a half-van or something.
Which side is the oil dipstick on? |

what's the number on the block above the bellhousing, can you see that, or even a piece of it?
I'm leaning more towards the '73 myself...

What color is it? '79 motors were blue, '73s were orange.
