I feel a little dumb not being able to decode these numbers so I am turning to you guys to see if you can help. This is a small block that is curently in my 67 RS. I do not have dirrect access to my motor, it iscurrently over an hour away at a shop so these numbers were giving to me from a mechanic. Here they are... Block # 28L313495 VI208E

I have tried to decode them on a website thats helps you decode but am still left asking exatly what I have here for a block.
Any help I can get would be greaty appreciated!!

It was built on either the 8th of feb or dec - VI208E could be v1208e
the other number is not going to be very usefull for what you want, it is the vin number that goes with the car. The block is a 293 from 1957 or 1960. it could have been in a truck or a vette.
You need the casting numbers to confirm the numbers you already have.

 

Thanks for the information, I am going down tomorrow to hoppfullly sign off of the paint and body workthen Iam going to swing by the shop to get the rest of the numbers off the block and headsso I can stop driving myself nuts!!
