I have a '49 Fleetline that my boys & I are fixing up for them to drive. Yesterday, I picked up the entire drivetrain out of a '69 Camaro, washed it, and am now hoping someone can help me identify the components: Inline 6, casting #3921968, says GM 69 underneath that, then CON 2, and the "clock" is at the 4 position, serial #F0911AN. I found a place to run the casting #, and found out it was either a 230, or a 250, original equipment in a chevrolet or oldsmobile in 69 to 72. I would like to know if it is a 230, or a 250, and any other information possible. Can't locate casting or serial numbers on the head The intake has what looks like a casting #3923418, GM 36 The carburator is a 1 barrel "Monojet", it says "Factor tested Carburators" on the side, and on the top it has stamped: 7041021, 134-71 1D The exhaust has a number, a big "GM", with "932" even bigger next to it, with 3915 underneath the "GM", which makes it look like it could be combined to make a casting #3915932. Powerglide, can't find any markings other than patent #s and a hand written #82272 Rear axle, has 67890 on the axle tube, and then on the various webs it has: GM 71, 3969340(casting #?), NF, and 6309. The cover is held on with 10 bolts. Any help I can get, regarding displacement, original application, ratios, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Just a FYI, the 194-292 chevy motors are alot longer than the 235/216... i had on ei n a 49 chevy coupe. you can do it, but i had to run an electric pusher, im sure i might have been able to slide the engine back more, but not much thats for sure.
Thanks Tom, I was aware of that, and will probably also put in an electric fan. Have already installed a new wiring harness in the '49.
Found a site that decodes the engine serial number, I do have a 230, it turns out. The site is for Nova's, but is useful: http://novaresource.org/codes.htm
