Side of block:

10-10-73 ~ casting date
3418496-360-10 ~ casting number

Machine pad (driver side below head, can't read all of it)

4W 360 1 ??503??? <- any help on this? Thanks. smile

EDIT:

I'm guessing

4=1974
W=Windsor
360= 360 cid

Also came with the factory windage tray. Sooo I'm ASSuming HP variant?

(1) no (2) good possibility (3) yes (4) maybe. Unrelated- some early 360 blocks were cast with 340 cores meaning they had alot of core thickness & would take more overbore than the average engine would, not that I would use that to bore one out to 60 over unless needed (CC gain from boreing is minimal) but thicker walls does give a more stable foundation especially in a perf app (if you do sonic check it you'd see it in the numbers).

First digit should be a letter, so a 4 is out.

Get a clear photo if you can & post it so we can see what you see.

With a late '73 casting date it's a '74 model year and, by then, the letter code was replaced by a single digit year code.

Did the timing chain look org?

Is the crank a aawj casting or cfd?

It seems to me the ones ive had or seen some of the W built motors seemed to use better quality parts although it dont make sense in some ways...

DC says the best factory casting 360 crank is #4027169. CFD is cast into the crank. Apparently it's shot peened.

Question: Isn't there supposed to be a VIN stamping on the machine pad just above the pass front pan rail?

Did not know that, thanks.

This one was out of a 1974 360 roadrunner fwiw. Guy put a 440 in it and I bought the original engine.
