More engine pad info
Tried to get more of the engine pad stamp and it may be this: 3106456 FI23IRE
The RE are not conclusive, nor is the letter just before the RE. I tried scrubbing like crazy with a toothbrush and WD40 and an engine degreaser. Afraid to scrap with anything metal because I...
Engine block code
Yea, I guess the F just means Flint where it was made. There is a good deal of rust etc on the pad and it does look like there may be a "2" after the FI so maybe the FI is really a F12...... I will have to go back an dig deeper to try to clean the pad and get the other...
Evo - Thanks for the input. Good points for sure. I've thought about that aspect of it for sure and once I figure more out it may come to that but the car has been ion my wife's family since the early 70's I believe so it would be kind of neat to see it run again.

Got some Trim info
Truth be told, my history with it is very complicated and only for the knowledge that it has been sitting in my wife's fathers garage since the early 80's. It kind of came with the wife, who bought it from her Uncle. I have no documentation, other than old registration forms...
Oh, I am sure it won't be easy. But, if I can find someone to do it, I am willing to part with some good money do do it.
Thanks to everyone who is writing in. I appreciate it as I am VERY new to this game.
Yea, I realize that and am actually willing to put a good chunk of change into it. Just trying to get an idea about it being 15K or 30k or more. I also will try to get the block number and trim info next time I see it. No interest in making it a show queen. Want to be able to drive it a bit here...
