trying to find out exactly wat car my motor came out of
vin #358695C133014
casting #395558
intake #411990
head (8) # 411929
metallic blue engine which suggest its somewhere between a 75 - 76
i cant see the derivative # because there's a plate blocking it or isn't there at all (i've tried lookin numerouse times)
its currently in a 1965 delta 88 celebrity sedan

395558= 68-70 350
#8 heads are smoggers off a 73-76 SBO
Not sure about the the vin. Where did you get that #? Not off the pad. The pad should contain 9 characters and the first two should be numbers then a letter. The last 6 are the vin off the car it originally came from. Get a mirror out and read it from under the car if the power steering brackets in the way which it usually is.

So it's a 1975 350, as we thought ('73 to '76).

Yessir.. can u telll me which car it came from or which model

droldsmorland

3= olds
5= 1975
R= Arlington TX
the rest is original car's sequential production number.
Also the 395558 is an ID code 5 block which would indicate 73-74 350 SBO. (The code 2 395558 is a 68-70 350SMO)

Your engine most likely was out of a 75 model year cutlass or Delta 88 as Arlington made both

Is there anyway to track down the car using last 6 vin #'s

jchavis44

Thanks thats so helpful

MDchanic

Nope. None at all.

It's a 350 from a '75 Olds. That's the best you're gonna be able to do.
