Sorry about another engine ID question but here goes.
Block casting 3769925
serial 28608
date code E 2 6
If the date code reads May 2 56 then it doesn't seem to jive with the block casting.This could be a canadian pontiac block, I see the pin hasn't been pushed in for the full flow filter.Just trying to narrow down the year.
The head is an 848 with date code D 20 9. Thank you Mike

Hy obrien1952gmc, according to Inlers Internationals web site, that casting number is from a 1958 - 62 261 Chev engine, hope that helps.

That date code could also be Mat 2 66 since these blocks were cast into the 70's as replacements. That might explain the non-standard "serial".
