You didn't give us much info to work off of. The only place I could find FBA was a 1984 six cyl truck eng.

Fulfillment by Amazon

(V = Plant, 01 = Month, 01 = Day, FBA = Engine Suffix Code)

V Flint (Engine)
07 month
22 Day.

The casting number and date from the back of the block would help narrow it down.
I couldn't fine it but there is a lot of data to look through without the casting number or year.
Cheers.

according to my book the 'FBA' suffix is for 1987 Truck 350 210hp, 700 trans, TBI, 10,20 series trucks.

Anybody know when Chevrolet went to that small pad size? It looks like there's hardly room for a partial VIN.

Thanks! The engine is in my Dad's 1968 C10 that I found at a car show a few years ago. I bought the truck with this engine in it, the guy had replaced the original 307 with this engine. I figured it was a 350 but that was all I could tell about it. Thanks so much for your help!

What’s the casting number?
It’s located behind the drivers side head.
The number will help confirm the motor specs.
Easy to restamp a motor.
You can always trust the casting number but not the info on the pad.

One more thing.
Get rid of that fuel filter before it breaks and creates a towering inferno.

Thanks, will do on the filter! I cant seem to find the number on the rear. I've tried with a mirror and my son climbed up in it and we still don't see it. I will try again. Thanks again for your help!

If the suffix code stamping is correct, 1987 truck 350, the casting number could be one of the following: 14093638, 14088548
casting number is located on the left rear of the block on the bellhousing flange
