I have a '69 with what I believe is a 427/390 4-speed. I do not believe the motor is the original but I'm having trouble putting the codes together. The following is what I know:
Engine casting # 3963512 date is J 23 8. Cannot make out pad #'s
My research shows this to be a late 69 427, or 70 454 but made in Oct. 68
VIN is 194679S708616 which means to me as an early 69
Intake manifold is cast 3955287 with a date of G 25 9
My research says this belongs to a 70 454/390HP
The exhaust manifolds are correct for 69
Carburetor is a quadra-jet with the number 7044230 and date 0584
My research says this is for a 74 Cadillac with auto trans.
Transmission has a casting of 385323 and the bell has 3899621 and the tail has a 3846429
I can find no info on the transmission codes
There is a D22 code on the upper right corner of the trim tag located in the door jam if that means anything.
It seems to me that I have a bastardized engine but would like to know if anyone could shed some light on what I have and if the parts I have are compatible. Or should I change the intake and carb? Also any help on the transmission numbers would help(is it a m20,21,22 or something else). Is the vin stamped on the trans and where is it located?
I know this is long but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
gb
