I am looking for some information on my block... I was told/read they were made from 1965-1969 and even some say into the 70s?

Block Casting: 3932388
Date Code: B20-9
Engine VIN: 191314004
Engine Code: T0312HD

Cylinder Heads: 462624
(Read they are absolute garbage and not correct to the engine)

According to Chevy-Camaro.com


----------------------------------------

ANSWERS:
After about a week of research, Questioning everyone I possibly could and everything under the moon I found all the information to this engine...
(Engine was factory to a Chevelle)

3932388
Placed in Novas, Chevelles, Camaros

B20-9
February 20, 1969 (Engine might been made ahead and placed into a car made in march?)

T0312HD
Tonawanda / March 13 / TH350 - 250HP 350Ci 2bbl

191314004
1 = Chevrolet / 9 = 1969 / 1 = Oshawa Ontario / 314004 = VIN
310443-315261 Engine VINs are made in March which match above
http://www.chevellestuff.net/1969/plant_prod_no.htm

Date Code: Feb. 20 1969
Engine VIN: Chevy / 1969 / This is supposed to be a letter but its a number? / 314004 CAR VIN
Engine Code: Tonawanda / March 12 / 250HP 2 Bolt Main

ALSO!!! That page also says this "NOTE: 1968 Chevy Camaros started with (300001)" AND "NOTE: 1969 Chevy Camaros started with (500001)"
So now something is wrong because the DATE CODE & ENGINE VIN do not correspond with these statements!

Anyone willing to help me really find out what I have would be greatly appreciated!

on this site it says
http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-chevy-codes/chevy-engine-codes-suffix-5.php

HD was in A,F,and X bodys. so it could be from other than a Camaro so the vin numbers could be right, just not out of a Camaro

And on this site
http://www.novaresource.org/codes.htm#1969

the 19 (1) says it was in Oshawa, ON Canada Automobile Assembly Plant

Yea I have read that this engine cast was placed in Novas, Chevelles, Camaros
.. But what does not make sense is that the engine code states that it was made in Tonawanda plant (T) Also that Nova resource page says the letter (O) is Oshawa, ON Canada Automobile Assembly Plant. I will post pictures here of it. I am not crazy I swear its a number not a letter! Haha

I promise I am not crazy! I cant see any way that is a L.. Even when I put white marker across it to get in the grooves to show the numbers its a 1!!
