Decoding/Numbers / Help decoding this PA Amish barn find 302 engine
« on: June 16, 2013, 08:18:15 AM »
I need help with this engine numbers I posted it in another web site and all I got was sarcasm please help me I need help decoding it.
Let me start with that it was installed in a 1963 impala SS 4 spd car back in 1974 by the original owner and it was given to his son in 1982 and last registered in 1984.. His son then left it in PA in a storage garage and was sold to the guy I bought it from
He told me he didn't do anything to the car and that the engine was original so I took the numbers down and I tried to decode them but it makes no sense bcuz this engine has been in the car to my knowledge since 1974 and if I'm correct in those years they weren't stamping engines so if u guys can help me please decode this engine for me please thanxxx
These are the deck numbers
19N556777
V1203MO
Casting is
3932386
Date casting is
K198
I took the oil pan off and verified it is a four bolt main so that puts it into either 350 or 302 but I thought the 350 didn't have them in four bolt main but I might be wrong please help me with this ill be waiting for your replies thanxx
