Help Identifying Engine

[Bouncer]

Trying to find out what engine I have in the old project and not having any luck. Pulled these numbers (V12011TL or 1L) from below the passenger side head but cant find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Get the numbers off stamp pad on the front of the block. Just in front of the passenger side head. Or look at the casting number on the back of the block above the bell housing mounting surface. A little google-fu with the numbers should give you an idea of what it is.

These numbers came from the stamp below passenger head not the head itsself, i didn't make that very clear.

assuming this is a small block?

Casting number on the back of the block helps too. on the pad behind the driver head.
The dress of the engine, head numbers and casting numbers give more clues to break down what it is

Looks like made in flint, 12th month first day the suffix doesn't line up though . 1tL 11L isnt a code. the suffix is what tells you the config and application

Thank you! Got it figured out! Chevy SB 350- casting code was hidden under some dirt and grease. 3970010.

There should be a 3 digit code after the V12011TL,to identify the engine cubic inch and year ,the "V" and the seven digits is just the partial VIN # off the vehicle the engine was originally put in ..
3970010 is probably one of the most common 350 blocks,some were 4 bolt mains too,usually from the early to late 70's vintage..
