69RS Sep 6th, 02, 10:48 AM Can anyone tell me about this engine. The front pad # is FO629GF. I couldnt read the # on the back of the engine. Any help would be appreciated. Jason bertfam Sep 6th, 02, 03:05 PM Jason, You didn't give the casting number on the block so it could be several things. Among them are: 1955 or 1956 265 1957, 1965, 1966 or 1967 283 assembled on June 29th in Flint, Michigan. If you can give me the casting number, I can be more specific.

It reads 9849852. I was told it was a 327 with forged flat tops. the heads are 461 camel humps. Thanks Jason Jonesy Sep 10th, 02, 06:57 PM Your casting number is 3849852. The first 3 could look like a 9. The GF code confirms that it is a: 1965/66 Full size Chev- 283/195hp with Powerglide trans - 2 bolt main engine. The 461 heads are not original to this engine.
