ENGINE IDENTIFYING HELLLP???
please help identifying this motor?
i got it cheap for parts, and it runs good
anway here the numbers

on the front of the block YE 0850273
REAR BLOCK NUMBERS
97999916

INTAKE 9790413
EXH MANIFOLD 9779328
HEADS ARE HARD TO MAKE OUT? 1 THEN (4)? (5)?(7)?

OK ME THINKS ITS A 1970 (350) WITH 265 HP 9.2 COMPRESSION

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG?

IT ALSO HAD NON GTO MOUTOR MOUNTS, THE HAD HOLES (TO MOUNT) RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUNT

GTO'S HAVE THE BOLT THAT RUNS DOWN THE CENTER LONG WAYS

ANYWAY I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THIS IS SUITABLE, TO THROW IN MY 68 GTO, TIL I FIND A GOOD MOTOR, OR GET MY 68 YS BLOCK BUILT

I PLAN ON PULLING THE 2BBL INTAKE AND CARB, AND EXH MANNIES, AND REPLACING WITH A 4BBL EDELBROCK PERMORMER AND A 3124 HOLLEY AND HEADERS

ANYONE HAVE A SET OF DECENT USED HEADERS?

ALSO ANY INFO AND INPUT IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATTED HERE?

Rear block number 9799916 matches a 1970 350. The 9799 denotes 1970 part number. But the YE does not match up for 1970. The only 350 block codes I see for 1970 are WU,YU,WR and XR. I do show a YE for a 1969 350 with head cast of 47. Head casting letters for 1970 350's are 11 or 94 only.

If it is later than 68, the cid will be on the side of the block on the left (drivers) side to the left of the motor mount.

I am looking in Pete McCarthy's book.

*********************************
THATS WHAT I'M SEEING TO
ITS FOR SURE 9799916
AND ITS AGAIN FOR SURE A YE CODE
IT ALSO HAS A LARGE "70" ON THE REAR (NEAR THE DIST TO THE LEFT)
AND IT HAS 350 EMBOSSED INTO THE BLOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE

IN ADDITION, IT HAS (FOR SURE A 1) ON THE HEAD, AND THE OTHER NUMBER IS HARD TO READ , BUT SEEMS TO BE SOMEYHING OTHER THAN A 1
VERY VERY HARD TO MAKE OUT?
14'S?

I CAN'T FIND THE YE 350 IN 70 WITH THE 9799916 CASTING BLOCK NUMBER?
WEIRD?

ITS FOR SURE THIS CONMBO?

THE ENGINE LOOKS GOOD, EXTERNALLY, NO LEAKS, PRETTY GOOD PAINT , NO OIL ETC
I'M GOING TO CHANGE TO 4BBL AND HEADERS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST,
THINK IT WILL BE OK?


THE GENTLEMAN I GOT IT FROM (FOR $100) SAID IT WAS IN A 68 VENTURA, AND THAT HE WAS TOLD IT WAS FROM A 658 FIREBIRD LOL, THE PLOT THICKENS

Your intake is for a '68. Maybe the heads are also from the same '68 (17 heads for 350, 14 heads for 400). The YE was a '69 Firebird 350 code, which was produced into the early '70 model year, hmmm.

Pull the intake and the valley cover. In the center ribs of the lifter valley on 68 and later blocks will be a '50' for a 350, '28' for 428, '55' for 455.
Motors will also have the CID as part of the block casting below the most forward freeze plug, or behind the dipstick tube on the other side.
