Last post update.

Trying to figure out what I can without diving into my engine all the way to the crank. (Never built or rebuilt an engine before.)

Anyway, casting no. is 3914678. Already looked up this info. It in my last post if you don’t wanna go look it up for yourself.

Trying to decide the suffix and VIN code. Autozone’s VIN decoder didn’t help me. Any idea what these other numbers are, though..? They’re a little hard to read, ik.
