Hello ..

Can anyone help me w/decoding it .. Is it a real 350 ?

Thanks in advance

If you had the engine stamp it would be easier to look up.

 It reads like a stamp code
M=Mexico
07=July
02= the day
Not sure on the OVP don't have any newer suffix info.

Did you get these numbers from the right front of the block?
78' K-20 355/SM465/twin stick 205 6" on 36's
14 bolt FF/big bearing Dana 44 4.56 gears
