Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 962 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 962 | I'm trying to ID an engine for a friend. Its an old one, maybe a 283 or 327. Can anybody ID this thing with the numbers I found?
Front passenger's side block: T0417DH
Rear of block by bellhousing: 3914638
Possible date code: C 22 8 (extra space between 22 and 8)
Engine has 2 sets of heads. Couldn't get to the numbers. I thought that some SBC heads could be ID'd by the geometric shape cast on the ends of the heads.
The heads on the engine have the top half of an H cast into the ends. 1/8 wide vertical hump, 1/4 inch space, then another 1/8 wide vertical hump. 3 or 4 bolt holes on ends of heads. Camel Humps?
The other set of heads has a rectangle with a pyramid sitting on top cast into ends. 1 or no bolt holes on end of heads. 283 Power-Pac heads??
Thanks Chip
