Suffix Code
I bought a 87 GMC 1/2 ton. It has no trans in it. The guy said it has a 283 out of a 66 Impala. This morning I started up my 69 Fleet and it knocked for about 5 seconds and stopped. I do believe it time for a motor swap and rebuild the 350. When ever I buy and small block motor I dont believe anything till I see the numbers. Guy told me the 283 has a new timing chain, cam...and so on. It runs good. 3849852 is the casting number which is a 283. The suffix code is what I am having a problem with. I cant find anything in my books or on the net about what it is. FI222GF. Anyone got a book with this number in it and can tell me what it is out of?
And anyone got any ideas on how I should put my alternator on without mounting holes on the heads?
