You have a 1970 Muncie 4 speed. from anything.

And a 1973 350, 175hp from a chevelle/monte carlo or full size chevy.

ok thank you i was hoping the engine had more hp but it will i bought it for 200dollars its been rebuilt and is not even broken in its bored 20 over and it looks to have a double roller timing chain and the lobes on the cam look a little tall but im hoping to get around 300 and something hp out of this engine when im done i got it for a cheap price because it spun a rod bearing. the numbers on the cam are 0414 and 14-42-96 and 119306965606 rs and 1539 and cmc and on the timing chain the numbers are 288 10-91 and 1931gm and 3735412 i think its stock i dont know if it means my engine has more hp then stock are not thanks

From what I can find, the 3857584 casting was the tail housing used on Muncies from mid 1965 through the 1970 model year.

The number 3851325 shows up as the main case for Muncies made in 1965 only.

The P0420 is the correct sequence for an early Muncie (63-66). Those models did not have the year coded on them, but if these parts are all original, my guess would be that it is a late 1965 Muncie. Without looking further into it, it would be difficult to know if it is a M20, M21, or M22.

There was very little difference between the Muncies,and any one of them should work in your Camaro if you can come up with the right parts like the correct length driveshaft and the clutch pedals to put it all together.
