Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Can anyone identify the extra engine in the car? Al was told that it has a cam in it, and that it was an Oldsmobile:-)

Looks like the balancer's too thin to be W31 but considering how all's been working out for you so far, it really wouldn't have been that surprising.
Still tough to read the stamped pad #'s from here, please note & relay them...is the 2'nd # a 9?
Exact applications aren't stamped like Chevy engine suffixes but the stamping there is the vehicle info and should be 9 digits beginning w/ a 3 for Olds division followed by year digit then plant digit ending w/ the sequential six of the original vehicle Vin.
Whatever the engine is, again you're lucky being an Olds that the crank's drilled for a pilot bushing so hopefully you can get it fired up and car moving around under its own steam to use while rebuilding the W31 engine.
Did you check the trans again and are there any more stamped #'s?

The stamp as best I can read it is:

3 = Oldsmobile
9 = 1969
1 = Oshawa I assume
113288 = vin of the car it came out of

The block has a huge cst number on the front 395558. 2

= 1968 - 1976 350 Olds engine

#5 heads are 1968-1969 all small block. Original W31 units will have bigger valves.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

The original W31 5 heads are in the trunk

The 5 heads on the extra engine I assume are the normal valve size

Spent half the day cleaning the workshop in the house and taking things to the dump so I could take items from the garage to the WS to make more room:-) we also put the dolleys together that my son won at NOCC (I think two years ago) THANKS NOCC!!! I also put the car on the dolleys and pushed it over to the wall so we can continue to clear out more items from the garage. I even washed and vacuumed the wife's car so she wouldn't feel jealous:-)

This was a father and son day, although it was not as glamorous as hoped...step by step young Jedi!!

This car is great motivation!!

The first two pictures are from the MTO Ministry of Transportation, they show the 1969-1972 plates without the sticker, then the 1973 plate got the sticker and no longer had to be replaced every year.

The next two pictures are of the 1973 plates on my car with the last sticker purchased in 1976. I have Al's insurance slip but it is for 1975, so somewhere in there was her last drive:-(
