Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum. I have this 283 engine that is supposed to be out of a 64 corvette. I cannot find any info on this i.d. number stamped on the front pad of the engine. Does anyone know what this engine is? Thanks for any help.


This is the i.d. number at the front of the block. Anyone have any info on this?

 

welcome. Someone here will know

 

thanks. I'm hoping someone can decipher that. I've looked everywhere I can think of to find that i.d. Even checked in Canada.

 

Welcome to the forums. The 3849852 casting number is Small Block V8 1957-1966, 2 Bolt. The stamped number is harder F is for Built in Flint, then the date 060 is june not sure what ID meaning could be application or transmission type

 

I can't find anything on that. I'm stumped. Thanks for the reply!

 

Most likely that was an over the counter replacement engine. Likely generic...

 

That would explain why I can't find it listed anywhere. I didn't think of that. I appreciate the help! Thank you.
