Please help me decipher this engine block #T0919LM19S730795.
I kwow T=Tonawanda, 09=Sept, 19=day of month. I need help with the rest, Thanks

Well I am not sure about the LM1, but the S730795 should be the last 7 characters of your VIN#. If it is that is the original engine for your car. :)

Can anyone tell me what year this is? If not what would you need to know?

You are looking at two sets of numbers there. The T0919LM is the build date/usage stamp: T=Tonawada, 09=Sept, 19=19th day of Sep, LM=engine usage (in this case a '69 Vette 427/390hp with manual trans). Then the 19S730795 is the Vin Deritive: 1=Chevy, 9=year, S=St Louis, 730795=last six of the car the engine was originaly installed in.

According to the 9S730795 that is a engine for a 69 vette.

9= 1969
S= St. Louis

If your last 6 digits of your VIN# is 730795 that should be the original engine for your vette.

Just saw that you are in Rogers. I grew up, many/many/many years ago, ten miles south of you in Springdale :D
