Engine code for 67 c-30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 67 c-30 that looks to have the original engine. Can someone tell me if CEB121653 would be the right code for this truck.

Where did that number come from?

In front of the passenger side head on the engine block there should be a number (letter prefix and suffix as well). If you get that number, you can find out what engine is and what it went into from the factory.

That # came from the pad on the front of the engine. Thanks

Is there another number? That one looks like a partial vin number.

Checkout www.nastyz28.com as they have a good section for decoding numbers.... I can't find a number starting with CEB (B is not listed) but if it is a CE block that would make it a 305.....

check out the "Number Decoding" link on that page....

I'll check again and see. Thanks

I looked again this afternoon and the CEB121653 is all that is on the front pad. The casting # is 3959532 but I can't see the date code. I looked in my Moretech papers and couldn't find this casting #.

Looks like a 283 cid.

CE stands for either Chevrolet Engine or Crate Engine. That means it was a replacement for a motor that went bad under warrenty.

And yeah, 3959532 is a 283. According to www.mortec.com:

3959532 - 283ci - 1964 - Used for some "CE" replacement blocks

That's what I've been able to come up with also. Thanks All.
