    Maybe if your front code is SC and the date is Feb 2, it should be vette w/4barrel ,1962 327 motor, and if the rear casting is hard to read it might end with 870 which I think is 62-6? 327 also. Just my thoughts on your great find! Congrats

    Great find and all there priceless! If it is a 1957 (283) motor it will not have side motor mounts holes on the block.

    Ok, so I am starting to piece together that I got lucky...

    Running 327 and I check out the heads and it looks like they are the 462's which makes them the 202's... The rocker arms were a little chatty so I dialed them down a little and found a good excuse to put on some new gaskets and valve covers...

    The radiator has a leak, so I am bummed about that $300-$500 and I am confused about aluminum vs brass...
