i have to know what kind of engine i have, well it is a sbc but anybody know what year? output and so on ? found only this numbers on it
this might help ,http://www.thedirtforum.com/castings.htm But the numbers you need are on the frontend of the block stamped in not cast, Tim Jones
'62-67 327 & 327 Corvette What are the stamped numbers (Suffix codes) on the flat pad surface, p***enger side front where the head meets the block. Pull a valve cover for the casting numbers to see if those fuelie heads are large or small valves.
No Problem , I found it on the net when I was trying to Id a block I had, Glad I saved the link ,,, Tim Jones
1965 327 to be precise cast November 24th of 1964 for 1965 production....all 327s back then were good...275 horse on up depending on whats on the front stamped pad...
thanks a lot ,i have to search the other numers, did not see em because the paint over it have to clean and overhaul it a bit anyway. Tank you
cast on 11/24/1964 (for 1965 production) 327 (great engine) 300HP and up with the 'double hump' heads as others said post your suffix code off of the front stamp pad.
^^ As mentioned above^^ K244 is Nov. 24 64 so it would be a 1965 production motor, only small blocks made then was 327 and 283. Check your pad stamping or casting numbers for cubic inch and car/truck it would have been installed in. The valve covers are new.
an '870' block is a 327. It also has the large font casting number making it a Flint MI casting and possibly Corvette, (all vette enginges were Flint castings and not Tonowanda NY)
thanks so much, sadly it needs a rebuild took it apart last sunday and had some rust in the cylinders:-(
How bad is the rust? You would be surprised at how well rusty cylinders clean up with just a little elbow grease.
