....The reason I am asking is because I just picked up
..a 4-bolt main block with this casting # 3935440
...and on the front pad is T0824KG
....I'm going to look for more numbers on it tomorrow

I would like to know what you find the casting date to be,down by the Freeze plug/starter motor.

..after further review of the block
...the casting date on the side of the block is
..... G11 8
....and there is a vin # on the side of the block that reads
........ 18BXXXXXX
...so I believe this to be from a 1968 two-door sedan chevelle ( baltimore built )...probably a 4-speed ( post ) car
.....the numbers on the front pad are definately
.... T0824KG
...YYYYEEEEHHHAAWWWWWW!!!!!

.....I just double checked the casting numbers, the numbers on the front pad , and the vin number....
..and saw that I had "MIS-READ" THE block casting date!!!!
...the Date on the block is " C 11 8 "....NOT "G 11 8"....WHICH MAKES THIS A MARCH, 11TH 1968 BLOCK
....I will send some photos later

That makes a lil more sense.But that mid May 1968 VIN# vs. the August 1968 Tonawanda engine assembled date is hard to swallow.
Are you sure that Tona date isn't T 03 24?
