IT is stamped on the front passenger side of the engine. I ran the casting number on the back of the engine on the drivers side 3794226 and it says 1958-63 truck 283. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | 3794226 = 1958-62, 283, 2 bolt main, truck
T0208D (engine assembly plant code);
T = Tonawanda plant
02 = second month (February)
08 = 8th day of the month
D = 8 cylinders
A date code may be cast into the block near the other casting number you gave, and give you the year the block was cast. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | Thanks I will look for other numbers when I get home from work. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | I looked on the front of the engine where the stamped numbers were and there were no more numbers. So I guess I cant tell the exact year the engine is. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | Look near the "casting" number (3794226) on the rear of the block. Also close to the distributor hole. There is also a cast mark that looks like a clock. A series of "cast" letters and numbers will make up the date code. example B214 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | Thanks I will look in those places and let you know what I find | | |
