1967 Chevy C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just picked up the above truck and am trying to figure out what motor is in it! The only data is on the front passenger side of the block - F04I4D - no vin was in this location, is there another place it might be?
Thx
Mike

PRETTY sure that 230-250's have a 4" valve cover and 292's have a 6" cover. I THINK that the fuel pump is behind the motor mounts. Do a search for I6 engine id and youll find TONS of info.

Thx,
But this is a V-8 motor, not an inline 6.

The back of the block. Just below the dizzy.

Newtz67 · 04-22-2011, 12:40 AM

If original motor check the spid or run the vin through the site vin decoder.

FickleFinn · 04-22-2011, 10:12 AM

Thanks will check it out today. The truck was originally a 6.

No telling what's in there then. I had to scrap a lot of caked up grime to find out on a truck I used to have. Also, check pass side of the block for a number.

FickleFinn · 04-22-2011, 11:01 AM

Found the casting number, 3849852 so I know it is a 64-68 283 from a Chevelle!
Some site say "SJ 2B" next to the casting number, I assume 2B is a 2 barrel, but no idea what the SJ stands for.
Still don't know how to translate the F04I4D, I assume F = Flint, 04 = 4th day, I = Sep, 4= 1964, D = ??

Newtz67 · 04-22-2011, 12:48 PM

I found it to be a 1957-66 283 with 220 hp., two bolt main, out of a car or truck.

68gmsee · 04-22-2011, 01:23 PM

Those were great little engines. Very durable and ran great on the old 56 with a 4 barrel I used to have. Almost indestructable.

Newtz67,
How did you decode the engine?
This where I found mine: http://www.tracyvette.com/blockssb.html

Thx,

A while ago I was searching for different engine id's. I found a few pages I liked and printed them out. Now I just pull out the papers when I need an id. Here is the link to the page for blocks.http://www.73-87.com/chevy_ids/blockid.htm

Thanks for the info.
