Casting numbers

Can anyone break down this casting number off a small block Chevy block? Thanks.

Next question, I got the grease cleaned off the heads and noticed they have different casting marks. So I pulled the valve covers off and one is a 493 (#3873493) cast on September 27 1971. The right side head is a 882 (#333882) cast on April 21 of 1976. What are (if any) the differences in these heads? I know they are both heavy casting smog heads but what about port volume, combustion chamber volume, etc. The engine was running with them on, but are the similar enough th run as a set?

thats the stamping number, not the casting number


that said

V = Flint
01 = Month, = January
19 = day of month, = Jan. 19th
TBC = Either a 1970 255HP 4 bolt 350, or a 1979 165HP 350

443's aren't listedon that mortec site as far as I can see.

Sure it isn't :
3973493....71-72...400..........76cc chamber
and what do you mean 443's u posted 493..
333882.....74-80...350/400......76cc chambers

Okay thanks. I misread the casting number believeing the 8 to be a 9, and the 443 was a typo. Thanks again.
