79Cruzer

I've had the car since April and when it was safety inspected the mechanic said the engine looks as if it had been changed within the the past 2-3 years. Tonight I wrote down these numbers.
The intake is 14057055 GM. The block has 2 numbers V0923D5B and below it in smaller letters 2DN201343 <- the last number might be an '8'. Can anyone decode these? Thanks. :confused:

14057055 1986 chevy 305 intake, D5B 1981 350 190 HP camaro or 1983 305 150 HP camaro. the other numbers are part of the vin# so check vin# to find out the year

Thanks Clem and Blu8t for the help. I wanted to know exactly what's under the hood for horsepower improvements. The engine pulls pretty good right now but I want to be pushed back in the seat on takeoff!
Clem.. you mentioned about the other numbers being the vin#? Is there a website to look this up? Thanks.

This forum is great. This is my second request to the forum for help and both times got a quick reply. I hope I can return the favours over time. Greatly appreciated! I've had a number of cars over the years and always wanted a vette, once other things were taken care of. It's been worth the wait. Love to go cruzin every chance I get. :steering:

The last four numbers of the lower number on the engin pad should match the last four digits of your VIN on the windshield if the block is original.
