...The "1"...should be the "5th" digit of a "13" digit vin
....and according to my previous post...the "fourth and fifth" digits ...denote a "2 door sedan"....
....am I reading that correctly? ( the section Chevrolet Chevelle / Nomad 1965 - 1971 )

What's the entire VIN# John?
You won't find the Entire VIN# on the engine block,only the CON (Confidential) VIN number,which is an abbreviated VIN#.

The full 1968 Chevelle VIN# should look like this example:
138378B123456

....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 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?
