This is my engine code. I would like to know if it is 1974 5,7V8 engine or not.

Thank you
kolisko

I don't find that code in a 74 car. I don't have the listings for trucks . . . maybe a truck code?

All the codes I could find began with a C . . . like CTW and the like.

I found the engine code of TDW for a 1980 350 from a truck, but no sign of DTW. Did you transpose the letters?

If it's a three letter code, it should start with a "C" or a "T".

Actually there are more;

C and Z are for passenger cars
T and A are for trucks
Suffix that begin with a number are marine engines, e.g 3XR.
