Got a parts car motor today. Casting # 3999290 B7.72 2 bolt
pad;T0209 CTB there is a partial vin but I can't make it out. Heads #6272292 A18.72 Think it might be from an El Camino but I'm not sure. any thoughts?

I have one exactly the same but its been wrapped up for 10yrs, I think its 325 hp out of a chevelle,10 to 1 I believe.

It could be a 72 Camaro, Chevelle or full size 402. See if you can make out the partial VIN and then you'll know what it came out of.

[WILMASBOYL78]

That's probably the best bet, it's just so darn faint. I can see the last three digits, maybe I'll try a better light or magnifying glass. TW

What is the letter in the begining of the VIN# stamped on the pad?
It should something like,1K123456
This will call out the plant,and help narrow it down to the car model it was installed in.
