Engine code on my 68......what is it?
I have found the below info from the front # on this block V0607WA. I cleaned the grease from the back casting # and it has this...3914636.
According to my research it is a 307. I wouldnt be so surprised but i know its the original untouched engine and I thought only 283 and 327 had on oil filler tube in the front. This one has that filler tube. What do yall show the #'s being???? Did they put an oil filler tube on a 307? V-Flint 06-June 07- 7th day WA-307 Could it have the oil filler tube because this engine has that crazy emmisions/smog pump on it??? |

Re: Engine code on my 68......what is it?
My book shows several applications for WA, it was installed in 65,66,67 trucks as a 283. also in 68 trucks as a 307 with a manual trans an 2 barl carb. it was also used in 69 as a 350 truck motor and th400. HP was 175 for the first 3. 200 for the 307, and 255 for the 350. I hopr this helps.

If it's original then it's a 307. I didn't think they were installing smog pumps that early though?

Re: Engine code on my 68......what is it?
That's a 307 2b style air cleaner you have there too.
My 68 327 4b has a ""Crazy" smog pump also. My 327 also has the oil fill tube similar to yours. From what I've been able to tell, 68 1/2 ton manual transmission trucks had smog pumps.

My original 68 307 (2bbl 3 on the tree) has the front oil filter, no smog pump and the same air cleaner as yours.
