If a lot of those older guys, like Cumby, had kept their "foot out of it"...we wouldn't have so many CE motors

I have an 824 with date code D-24-71
I didn't look at the stamp codes tonight. It is a Std 4.125 bore w/factory 4 bolt. I guess that is a little to later a date code for your project unless it is a replacement code.

Donnie, check that VIN stamp and engine code again...

JD is for a 69 Chevelle L78 4 speed...but the W in the VIN would indicate Nova application...the Novas were all JH motors...unless I'm missing something

the vin is down by the oil filter in the rough cast and its real hard to read.

Donnie, I think that answers the question...it is probably a Chevelle VIN then. I have never seen a Nova BB VIN in that location...perhaps it has an A or K instead of a W.

thanks, wilma
