Decoding/Numbers / 1969 396 L34 Casting Number
« on: January 04, 2008, 10:30:51 PM »
I have seen some conflicting information on a casting number for a 396 L34.
In this web site and in other references, casting number 3935440 is shown as having occurred with 1968 and 1969 VINs. In other references it is shown as only having occurred in 1968 VIN's.
I am nearly certain that this block is original and from a 1969 car, but have had an "expert" tell me that it must be a re-stamp. Can anyone shed any light on this controversy? Is it relatively newly recognized that 5440's appeared in 1969? If so, am I looking at older references and dealing with an even older "expert"?
I am an old Camaro guy but a newcomer to chasing originality. I hope most everyone here can relate to that. Thanks in advance.
