Hello fellow wrench Turners and General Car Buffs and such. My name is David I live in north central Pennsylvania. I'm a sixty-year-old Gearhead redneck Born and Raised on a farm and turn wrenches when I was 7 years old on farm equipment. My love for cars stemmed from that era. When I was 6 years old I could tell you every making every model of and every year of every car I saw on every Highway on every trip to the store every two weeks. By the time I was 21 years old I had owned and sold or junked or scrapped or wreck 243 different cars. I stopped counting then I would imagine that that number is quadrupled or more by now. I just like every other old knucklehead say that I wish I had the cars I had back then. The last couple years my new hobby is locating buying and flipping classic and antique cars and trucks. My most recent find is a 63 Chevy Impala Super Sport what's an unknown small block V8 engine in it. Which by the way I could sure use some help to decode the engine number on this small block
Thank you Pete Joe, I appreciate your help. However, I visited the link you provided prior to signing on here and requesting****ist . Actually spent an hour or so viewing and reading about the topic of engine ID at about 6 different sites. I came to the conclusion that those sites are not listing by stamped numbers, only by casting numbers . To retrieve the casting number it will be necessary to remove the distributor. There must be a site somewhere that can list and decode my stamped numbers. They are VO209FSS and CE3324845. I,d just like to know what the FSS suffix represents as to what vehicle the engine was manufactured / intended to be installed in and the engine cubic inch. Thanks again
Best to post this on the main H.A.M.B. forum. You will reach more people with info. Here’s another one with a stamp decode. http://chevellestuff.net/qd/engine_stamp_numbers.htm
