Hey guys I need a little help please. I just pulled my engine out of my 73 and started cleaning it up to get the engine codes off of it. I know the engine is not original but I cant quite figure out what I have. So here goes nuthing.

The front pad ahead off the passenger side head has 2 numbers (K 10 26 FB) (192019650). The casting # on the rear drivers side says (GM 3932386) also on this block there is a (M) in a box a large # (1) the letters D A N aranged in a semi circle withe a small arrow pointing at the letter N. Can anyone please help me figure out what all this means. So far I have figured out that the motor was made in 1969 and could be a 302/327/350 possibly even out of a Z-28. The motor has been rebuilt and has a eddelbrok intake, holly 650 carb, looks like stock heads. I was told the motor was a 327 how can I be sure. Thanks for your help guys.

Your engine block # 3932386 is a 69. My question, is this a 4 0r 2 bolt main?
If it is a 2 bolt it probably is a 1969 327
but if it is a 4 bolt it could be either a 302 or 350. The 69 302 4 bolt was made for the z28. your other number next to the suffix code 192019650 is a partial vin #.
I hope this helps out. good luck.
