Donor's home with pics...

I don't know if Canadian engines are any different from US ones, but, that oil filler in the front looks like a 327. The casting number is on the rear of the block, driver's side, above the bell housing, below the head and intake. Probably have to use a mirror to read it.

 

EEEEEE thanks dodgeguy My Wayne was very sure the oil tube(? whatever) in the front was on a 327...you've just confrimed it.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH


I'll check tomorrow...thanks for the directions. 327 is a chev motor right?

 

Fannie, it's pre 1970 Canadain Pontiac.....YES it would be a Chevy motor and 327cu would be/was a engine for them

 

But the tags on the side have 307, so this is not original, right?

 

Fannie, you do need to find the numbers. The intake could be off a different engine. Is it aluminum and painted the same colour as the engine? The early intakes were designed with the oil filler in the intake, for 283 and 327. The block and heads could be anything - 307, 283, 327 or a 350.

I learned a long time ago to rely on the block numbers and not on what the call-outs on the car said. If you post the numbers I have a chevy numbers book I can check and let you know. Same goes for the heads - IIRC the numbers for the heads are under the valve covers, but you are more interested in the engine block. Also, get the number off the intake manifold and I can tell you what it is off of as well.

 

Yeah I wouldn't rely on the filler tube for positive ID. It also has some sort of PCV setup on the valve cover which wouldn't be correct. Get the numbers off the pad on the block deck to find out what it is/was unless the block has been decked. http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-engine-code-stampings.php

Second area is the casting number as dodgeguy mentioned before.

Thanks, Sorry for my ignorance...I'll get the numbers tomorrow if it's not rainning...sugar cube you know

 

As usual...my engine is not listed on the Chevy site. By the casting number, it came from a late 60s-early 70s Camaro. But that is all I can find out. Numbers on front pad under alternator....T0625OMJ.

 

if the fenders have been changed that could explain the 307 crests

gal your so giddy bout your new pieces

now the FUN starts....taking it apart that is!..its always more fun than putting it together

 

I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT It was dark when I got home so I couldn't check out the numbers on the motor...well tomorrows another day

 

Had my mirror, flashight, rags... I'm useless!!! I can't see any pad or numbers...I'll have to wait until the weekend so both of us can get out there in the daylight

 

My tag #'s on the wagon are: S 768-73135-OS802192


Not one of 39 however still special I think I have made a few people unhappy over at CP because I'm using the sedan to fix the wagon...

 

Here is a site with pictures showing locations of the block casting number and the stamped ID.
