Fw: Engine ID

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

I had sent this earlier, but it seems to have gotten lost out there
somewhere.



The casting date "10-7-76" negates the 1982 model year idea.   October 7,
1976 was well within the 1977 model year.  The "7' in the engine number is
for the 1977 model year..

The "T" is for the Trenton engine plant and "440" for the engine size.

The "11" is part of the date code for the engine assembly  - there are two
numbers missing.  The "302" means it was the 302nd engine built that day.
Or if the numbers are laid out as "11 30 2", the engine was assembled on
November 30, (1976), 2nd shift.

Check the passenger side of the engine, just aboe the oil pan rail and
behind the engine mount.  There should be eight numbers/letters stamped into
the block   Those eight digits are the last eight digits of the VIN for the
car / truck the engine was installed.
