I picked up some more parts with the GS I bought last month.I need to know what year parts these are: heads #1231766 intake #123648[or 3]3 I cant find the vin #s on the TS block,I was told there behind where the power steering would be Keith
The only thing that I see close to those numbers is 1231786 ('70 455) and 1237661 ('71 455). On the intake the closest thing I see is 1236403 ('71 455) http://www.atlantabuick.com/CastingNumbers.htm
If it's a real early '71, check here on the deck. The VIN was here until '71. This is between #1 and #3. Try completely sanding the face of the block in photo 1.
I just double checked the heads and they are 1786s[70] heads.It is cold here today and I checked pretty fast. thanks,Keith
just went out in garage and checked both places...nothing.Where its stamped TS theres 2 xs by it,like this: X X T S Keith
If the serial number was on the top of the deck, and it the engine has been rebuilt before, and the block was decked even a little (just to square it up), the serial number is now gone. That could explain why there isn't a number anywhere to be found.
