looked at the car engine suffix codes which are two or three letters, but no factory installed blocks start with X as the first letter. There was an EX and other codes, just no X_. anyway, there are lots of codes on chevies, so get us a block casting no., date code, assembly code, engine suffix codes, and I can help you out.

3935440....396.......68-69...2 or 4 bolt


The other code is T0509??, The motor is from the Tonawanda motor factory built May 9th. You have to look further for the exact year. There is a block casting date usually on the back ledge passenger side and will look like D 12 9 for April 9, 1969. It will be some date before the build date obviously. The last two could be CE which means it is a Crate Engine or warranty replacement engine.

The 5440 blocks were also used in the base 325HP Chevelles in 68. Even though they were used in pick-ups there are still considered pass motors. If it's a core then $500 or less if a good stock runner maybe $1000 is my guess.

truck blocks have the word 'truck' cast into them. lowers the value when in a car even if block casting no. was correct.
