Second pictures.

As for the cases, those numbers are castnumbers for 70s shovelheads. What you want to look for are stamped numbers, vin is located on the right front side. Or else there should be numbers inside the right side case beside the cambearing, and outside and underneath on the left case.

Yes, thing is , I believe this engine was a put together
I assumed I bought a 1982 year
Then I tore it apart and found an EV3 cam and I suspect the crank is also different than the one originally in there
I'll check the vin tonight and see
