engine number help
I have been trying to figure out what the engine in my Camaro is. I have searched the net for serial decoders but I am either missing something in decoding the number or am totally out of the ball park.
The serial number of the engine is To415CSB.
Thanks for any help.

RE: engine number help
The specifics depends on which year it is, and you can find a date casting on the bellhousing flange on the passenger side of the block, and the block casting number from the drivers side.
CSB suffix is for a 400 small block.
It's either a 1973 175 h.p. with a 2 barrel carb, or a 1976 175 h.p. with a 4 barrel carb.
That's a desireable, and hard to come by block for performance nuts.
Here's a handy info site to check out:

I think the last year for the 400 4 bolt main was 1973 they were 2 bolt after that. The funny thing is the two bolt is more desirable than the 4 bolt in these blocks the 509 casting is supposed to be the one to have. I have a 4 bolt 400 I think its a 511 casting.
