    chevy 283

     



    Hi,
    I have a 283 chevy engine that i'm rebuilding. Block casting number is 3756519 , i believe it 59-61 block. The date code is G280. Is this a '60 or '61 engine?

    thanks

    Date code G 28 0 would be
    G = July
    28 day of the month
    0 = year or '60
    No matter where you go....there you are!

    Looks more like a Engine ID code than date code
    F0804WA would be:

    F - Flint Plant
    08 - August
    04 - 4 day of month
    WA - Suffex code as follows

    1965, 283, Manual trans, 175 HP, 2 barrels, C10-35 body
    No matter where you go....there you are!

    My 65 Studebaker coupe has the same rams horns so that doen't help.

    Isn't C-10 a 2 wheel drive and K-10 a 4x4?
