Thanks, TC:
Went back to look. Using your link to his 7 photos, I'll refer to each item by his photo number.
#1: block casting, found between dist. and road draft tube, inside 3 cast, "lobes." Nothing whatsoever on mine. In fact, there are no 3 lobes, but 2 lobes, down just a bit lower. NO number.
#2: Block date, right side, toward rear along with and just under captains bars. I have captain's bars, with, " CON 4," a little space, and, " 1 27 6 "
#3: s/n for engine on machined ledge, right side, as before, " 55F1017N
$4: Odd cast on number, right side, high on head between 2nd and 3rd spark plug: B46 848
850
#5: Head casting: I found it: 3836850 Also, "GM 1."
#6: Head date code, just inside valve cover:
J 10 6
#7: Head date, see No. 7.
On door post: 6RW K 3844, which is for the truck, not engine.
This help??? So, now...what have I got??? Why no engine casting number found? Somewhere else? Did find a lot of blue paint. Valve cover is held with the typical 4 quarter-inch slot head screws over tear-drop tabs. Breather is on front of VC.
??? Thanks, everyone. Dennis
