I have the opportunity to obtain a 340 block. Cast Number: 2780930-340-5 Cast date: 7/10/69 ID Number: R135495. Am I right in saying this is a 1970 340 built in the Ontario CN plant? If so, I know Darts & Dusters were built there. Is there any way to tease out any other info on this block? Thanks FABO friends!
Decoding a 340 help please

On the top front driver's side of the block there should be assembly date numbers stamped near the top of the deck near where the head sits on it. They will tell when and where it was assembled, what number engine assembled that day.
Please post the vin which is found on the pan rail.
krazykuda, thanks for link - pretty much everything I was looking for.
pink340swinger, I had a '71 that was visually identical to the car in your avatar. Sweet ride.
A56, it will be a day or two before I can get back over to where this is at but will post the info when I do.
