Looking for a 1966 Dated E-Block 400 with Crank and pistons preferred. Good rebuildable or running condition. Send me a PM if you have one you are looking to sell.

Thank you,

Have you figured out how to tell if a 400 E is '66 or '67?

 

That's a good question, I assumed it would have the Make-Year-Factory-Vin derivative stamped driver's side front like my 455. If not I suppose the correct casting would be enough

 

This is what I was thinking...

Pre 1968 engines also had an engine unit number stamped on to the machined pad at the front of the RH head. I believe that the Toronado 425's started with a T rather than a V.

 

Right, but that number is on the head, not the block. So that won't do you any good with a short block or less. The block has an ordinal date code, but it is only for the day of the year, not what year. The 400E blocks are the same, though.
Pre-'68s did not have the VIN derivative as I expect you've found out.

 

I should have looked harder at what I have sitting. I have the original heads, so I am in business. Thank you for the input.

 

I have a few E blocks.
