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.
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.

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?

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