So I bought the Firebird this past weekend. I have found out a little info about the engine (see attached photos)
Numbers on bac k of block drivers side are 18 GM 3970010 Numbers on front passenger side are V0916CNN
V tells me it was made in Flint MI. CNN tells me it was made in 1970, 350CI, 250HP, originally 2 barrell carb with TH350 Tranny, installed in either Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, or a Nova.
I do not know what 18 GM means (GM probably means General Motors). I do not know what the 0916 means. I have searched but have had no luck finding any info.
I do not know what the DNT and circle of dots mean. Any ideas?
Is there a way to tell what transmission is on the car without pulling it out? All I know now is that it is automatic.
Is there a way to tell what rear end is on the car? There should be a tag somewhere correct? I know I need to replace rear bearings, wheel seals, and probably the drum brakes while I have it all apart.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
