Dug this one out of the dust this weekend. I believe it's a 1964 429 but the vin has me wondering what model it was originally installed. Can anyone help.

I think what you have there is the engine unit number.

The S/N is on the driver side of the engine block just above the oil pan.

On the drivers side of the block just above the oil pan in the middle. I found these numbers stamped. What info cane we determine from the numbers. What was this engine installed in for production. Can we figure out what type of body style?
