chad: thank you... question: what is "A &Y". So, this motor could be desireable to a corvette owner? Is it either from a Vette or Chevelle? or, "fullsize car" as an option also. thanks again.
A body Chevelle , Y body Corvette , F body Camaro , X body Nova and the other GM look alikes.Cutlass , Firebird etc.The front pad stamp will tell you what it is from.It isnt the best block to use for a 383.It is a small journal block and the crank costs more than the large journal ones.Also not as much room in the pan rails for the longer stroke.
Mike: I do, but not handy. I remember it looking crooked, and they used "I" where "1" should have been. I was told that was common at the Chevy plant. If I could get a decent price, I'd sell it. If not, this motor will be rebuilt to 383. just don't want to start messing with a motor that a corvette guy might want. I'll get the pad stamp tomorrow.
The 3858174 block was used in '66 Corvettes, for both the 300hp and 350hp engines (assuming it's a Flint block - that's all that Corvettes used - they didn't use Tonawanda small-blocks). :thumbsup:
