Block Stamping, what is.............??
« on: July 03, 2008, 11:06:05 AM »

On my 440 engine I have figured out the casting # on the side of the block

I have figured out most of what is on the pad next to the dist. But there are a few that elude me. Stamping is as follows

7T440T
10 142 *(Maltese cross) X

I make the first line to mean:
1977 440 CID built in Trenton

My book shows the second line maltese cross and an X to mean:
.010 undersize crank

But what does the "10 142" stand for?

Thanks,

CE

Hmmm, sounds reasonable to me.

Anyone else?
