A quick Google of the number says...it's a 428. The date would make it a '68 model year.

The lack of a Manifest Code stamping and Engine Unit No. might be because it was ground off. Otherwise, it may have been a block used for a Service Replacement motor. If SR, look for a stamping alongside the Timing Chain Cover a few inches below where you would normally find the Manifest Code stamping.
SR blocks would not get a Manifest Code stamped on them. I'm no expert on the '68 cast 428 blocks but I'm guessing since this was a pretty early model year block casting, very possible the additional identifiers cast on the side of the block had not yet begun at the time this block was cast. |
