1969 400 identification
Trying to figure out the numbers of my 400 motor
The block has correct 396026 G but the vin number does not make sense, the vin number is 59M222941, from every thing I have read it should start with a 3 for Oldsmobile division does any one know what the 5 stands for? Also any ideas what it came out of? It's currently in my 69 442 built in the Fremont plant.

I may be wrong, but maybe this is how Randy is seeing a 3 and not a 5. I'm not familiar with how 3s were stamped into the block, but thought I'd contribute something. It resembles the font of the 3 in the first picture. It may just be the lighting and the angle that makes it resemble a 5.

That motor came out of a 69 Lansing car. So if its in a Fremont car, it cannot be the original engine. I guess if the number was same as the cars VIN, you probably wouldnt have asked the question in the first place -eh?
