Re: Casting Numbers???
The casting number will only give you a range of years. For the actual year you want the casting DATE.

On late engines look for a three digit julian date (000 to 366). Near that, the year will be in a circle with a kind of clock face around it. Early engines have a letter (A through L) followed by 2 to 4 digits. The letter indicates the month (A = Jan, B = Feb, etc) and the last 1 or 2 digits will be the year. I don't know what year the numbering changed, but the old system was still being used at least into the 60s. Ray |

[QUOTE=raycow;4233713]No, the stamped numbers just give you the month and day the engine was assembled. The year will be cast into the block, not stamped.

Ray[/ went out to look at it there's a three digit code however seems funny to me, it has this lll can't figure if those are three 111 or three l letters they are surrounded by a stupid looking figure not exactly a clock it looks more like two flat head screws, however there is also an 86 at the right side of the cast "mystery" numbers. |
