[79TA455]

I have been trying to find the year of my engine and some other features for the car I purchased this summer. I have been able to find out that the engine is in fact a 455 with the 455 stamped on the block in front of the motor mount on the drivers side. I am, however, unable to find a serial number on the block as of yet.

I have been able to find some stuff on the engine .........

I found the number 75 on the passenger side of the block by the distribitor hole. On the other side, I found the letters D and N. On the passenger side of the block, behind the head I found 500813. Does nayone know if these mean anything? I'm assuming that 75 is the year of the engine.
On the "fender tag", I found the following:

79 11D 2FS87 N 084286
628 19L 19U L
A51 CC1 A31 Y84 (so m Iknow it is a Y84 car now)
TAN 630381

79 is obviously the year. Any help deciphering these #'s would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Well, I have been able to find out that 2FS87 was on all tags as that denotes the standard Firebird/Trans Am body. 19U indicates that the car was originally black. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyone else have any ideas?
