Looked thru the casting info and on line,but still can't figure it out. This motor is not an intregal head, so I know its before 1975.The # on the flat pad behind the distributor is F1102TAB. Cast into the side of the block is CON 2 J233 and 328575 with GM under that,and 86 under the GM. 32875 meaans this is a 68-84 block?
Does the J233 mean it is Oct/23/1973??? I was told it is a 250.

I would guess the date code is Oct/23/73, but, they are all the same so it really doesn't matter. Pick a year when buying parts and stick with it, no need to confuse the counter guys. All the heads were the same for the 230,250, and 292's. I believe all 230 and 250 blocks are the same.

There were non-intregal heads used on some models after 75. Mostly on Cameros.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

In cars& parts book of chevy truck ID numbers 1947 to 1972

1970 was the only year that chevy used the AB part of you're number on the 250 cu.in. 6.
