I Agree.
The engine bolck stamp should have the VIN derritive. Blocks should be stamped like this:
V0101CLJ - (V = Plant, 01 = Month, 01 = Day, CLJ = Engine Suffix Code), followed by a second stamping,
77S414860 (year-VIN derritive).
'77 350/180hp engine suffix codes are:
CHD: A/T CA
CKD: A/T Hi Altitude
CKZ: M/T Federal
CLA: A/T Federal
CLB: A/T Hi Alt. Federal (early '77 build)
CLC: A/T CA (early '77 build)
Get back to me on the engine number.
VIN (CHASSIS) # 1Z37LZS414860
1Z = Chevy Corvette
37 = Coupe
L = Base 350/180hp
Z = Should actually be a 7 for 1977
S = St. Louis, MO assemby plant
414860 = Build sequence
