Technical CHEVROLET engine id's

Don't know if this could help anyone , But I found it interesting. Pictures of Chevrolet Cranks to possibly help ID an engine you are looking at .

 

That picture gets posted in every thread we have about identifying small block chevys...welcome to the club!

 

Shows how observant I am , Thanks ! When I finally saw it I said***** that's good to have for flee markets / swap meets at the track or Car shows.Have a good one Brother!!

 

yeah, it's pretty helpful. Not totally accurate, though....so beware

 

Sure , cranks & parts most likely interchangeable , but a Start with deck #s etc..

 

The 302 version damn near looks like Packman.....
It gobbles up the competition....

 

I am****uming that deck# and serial number are the same?
The '65 327 in my 40 has had the decks squared (maybe zero decked). Now when I was coming up I was taught that if you deck one the job was not complete until you socked the numbers back on it. That does not seem to be standard automotive machine work any more.

The crank flanges are a good starting place. At least if someone tells you it is a 302 and the flange is 400 you can****ume that he is wrong.

 

YEAH ,it's a GOOD piece of the puzzle to have when your spending your hard earned Loot for something you WANT to be SURE of its Originality or Lack of.
