In order to find the correct application, you also need to supply the block casting number and the block casting date.

Sorry for the mis information, but it would have helped if you said it was a big block!

CBTN shows LB is a 1969 427 335 passenger, 3-4 speed. Possibly the 2bbl version?

As stated earlier, we also need the block casting number and date.

Casting number will be on the back of the block, top side of the bellhousing flange area.
