Need Help Identifing "350" Engine "3970010"

[Joe]

I got an engine with the Casting "3970010" a 4 main bolt
I just want to know if it is a "350" and what year it is

The problem I'm having is that the Suffix is "TYR" which is 1975
but the Partial Vin says "1977" I must be reading something wrong
and the casting says it can be a "302, 327,350"
I tried to Decode it and this is what i came up with.
Vin:
V0309TYR
V - Flint
03 - March
09 - 9th
TYR - 1975 350
TYR- 1979 305

C7U179475
C - Chevrolet
7 - 1977
U - Hamtramck Michigan
179475

Casting is "3970010"
I found that it could be a
1969-79 3970010 302/350
1968 3970010 327
1969-79 3970010 350

Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks

You have a 350 motor, both of you. The TYR code means it came out of a truck. Not sure about the XTD but most likely another vehicle such as a van or even a boat is possible.
