^ Of course those numbers don't show up there, those aren't casting numbers. The first set of numbers is his partial VIN.
The second set of numbers decodes as:
V - Flint Michigan engine plant
05 - Month (May)
21 - day of the week (21st)
CKX - either a 1972 200 h.p. 350, or a 1973 145 h.p. 350, or a 1976 180 h.p. 350.
The casting date on the bellhousing flange will tell which one he has.
