The engine serial number is pressed into the ledge in the block that is just to the rear of where the distributor goes into the block.

Thanks ! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 34 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 34 | Still getting used to this site. Great info
but a little differant to the other sites I frequent. I think my engine is a 54 Chev
by what I wrote down 0176067 F547
I think I got a coup[le wrong that 7 on the end should be a Z ? Anyways it looks to be a 54. Is that a pressure oil system?
I would think so by what I've read.
Oh the head says B60 848 850
Is 848 good ? Higher compression ?
Is that engine worth hopping up for fun ?
