All engines are stamped with an engine ID code, consisting of assembly plant code, production date and suffix code. V8 codes are stamped on a pad just forward of the right side (passenger) cylinder head. 6 cylinder engines are stamped on the passenger side of the block behind the distributor.
Who really knows? I work at a shop and 30% of the parts we get are wrong. This is from people that are supposed to know the parts. All you can really do is match it with the old one.
from what i find , the format of the number is incorrect. Engine ID Code Example: V0107CLJ i can find meanings of the "m0525" but nothing on the first 1. and the suffix code is 3 letters. so from what i worked out, the "m" would be from the mexico plant. and the "0525" would be the engine build date, may 25th, no year stamp. the "5vp" is what's got me. there's only 4 suffix codes i found that start with numbers and none are 5vp. the closest i found on just the "vp" without the "5" would be a "vr" listed as a 350 1969 with 4 barrel carb out of a c-20 or c-30. the closest i could find for "5vp" would be "suf" and there were 2. both listed as 305's 1984. one out of a monte carlo and one out of a firebird.
