There is a Muncie for sale on Craigslist Atlanta, VIN 19N583008. If anyone owns this car.

Ok, it has a code of T0218, it was a 8 instead of a 5, and has a K under it, all by the starter flange . So, it has a Tonawanda  CE code and date, but a  McKinnon foundry cast block, and K by the date also. Anyone seen anything like this? Did Tonawanda have a strike, and they use McKinnon cast blocks for warranty? Just curious. Never seen one like this... ever! It is a 4 bolt bare block.   
CE 9 52xxx  on top pad

T0218   by starter
K

I have a 010 CE block, dated 11 69, with series # after it, and on the bottom, by the oil filter location, a date of K0215 . It had a # written on the side of the block in crayon of #3970647. A guy at the dealership told me it was replacement ' 69 Z fitted block, and that 397# was a service replacement # , ordered through the parts department. Sounds like someone turned a bearing, or worse, and had it replaced under warranty.   

Looks like CE 9 5XXXX. It is a bare block though, no crank/rods or pistons, and no VIN. And NO, I don't want to sell it.
