^ 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.

Casting date codes go from A-L (representing January to December)
E46 = May 4, 1976
That also corresponds with your build date 17 days later.

Now those are the Chevy casting numbers for 1969/1980 350 block.

What else you want to know, what it came out of?
It's a 1976 L48 350, 180 h.p., out of a Vette, and was coupled to an automatic trans.
