Hi I need help finding out what the casting numbers on my motor signifies. It is 3916828. Any help out here tonight.. Thank You Al

Just responded to your identical post in the Welcome Wagon section. That dosn't appear to be a good number.

Thank you but this number is stamped on drivers side rear of block

casting numbers are the numbers made when the block was cast, there raised numbers unlike stamped numbers. easy to get confused when telling someone over the internet, now the difference between the two i dont know

Big block or small block? The only one I could find that was close was a big block number; a lot of times, the 3's and 8's are easy to misinterpret as the other on casting numbers.

3916323 1968 396 325, 350, 375, 2&4 bolt

Hi I need to no some info on casting # 3916323 BB. Thank you

Hi and thanks those eights were three's

Hi they are raised numbers on the back of the block but those eights were three's

Cool, so now you know what you have, right?

no i have no idea what i have can you help?

Umm... I posted the info for the 3916323 casting in post #5 above. It is a 68 396 block, could be 2 or 4 bolt main. Does it still have any stampings on pad in front of passenger side head? How many threaded/tapped holes in the area above the oil filter?

Eric thank you i did not see #5 in its entiretie sorry. I will get back to you if you do not mind with the added info that you requested. Again Thank You

3916323....396.......68......2 or 4 bolt

Hi Eric I checked the block. It has 3 holes on the top of the oil filter.

Thank You

It's not the number of holes, but the SIZE of the holes that counts.

You have a 396/325 2 bolt main engine assembled on August 10th, 1967 at the Tonawanda, NY engine plant, and installed in a 1968 Chevelle assembled at the Atlanta, GA assembly plant.

CHEVYSS2936, please stick with your original thread. It's too hard to keep track of them if you keep posting new ones.

Your original question was answered HERE (http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=154017&page=2) (Look at the size of the holes), and I've decoded your other question there as well.

Moderators, please delete this thread.
