I am considering buy a 235 which have the numbers 3769716. Inliners say this is an 58-62 year(s). What I would like to know are what these other letters/numbers indicate: CON4-K90 GM22 or a link to visit. Thanks Steve

CON4 means that it was made on conveyor 4 at the foundry.

K90 is the date code. K is the 11th letter, so that corresponds with the 11th month, November. 9 is the day of the month. 0 is the last digit of the year, so 1960. Your engine was built on November 9, 1960.

Rocky N,

Post all the codes shown on this page.

They should help in id-ing your engine.

Rocky N, That 235 pressed into the oil pan is a great find, most miss it as usually covered in crud.

The difference in the "235" pan on the splash-oiler engines is the height of the dipper troughs- - - -the longer stroke of the 235 engine necessitates that the troughs be placed lower in the pan.

I find it interesting Chevrolet sold a replacement pan that is listed to fit "1940-53 all"(216-235), except 1953 full pressure 235.



See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
