Thread: GM Engine?

Tweet

Six digit GM part numbers are common for the pre70's era. In my small block book, there are six digit numbers listed for partial engines (a partial engine has a block, crank, cam, timing chain, rods and pistons and is commonly called a short block) ( a fitted block has the block and pistons).

For instance, 376372 is a 62-67 partial engine with a hydraulic cam.

Pop the plastic and identify the engine. Grab a casting number and the engine code and we can identify it.

That's what I thought, and considering how long it's been in the garage I wouldn't doubt if it was pre 70. I'm sure half engine would be similar to "partial engine". I can't wait to get the castings now, but I'm still at work I'm actually on my phone right now, so tonight I'll try to get the info. I'll include pics and model #'s of the carbs also, which are still brand new in plastic in the original boxes. Thanks for doing the research!

Oh Don - that was funny. I can see it all now:

Most Honorable Hot Rodder.. I am the barrister for the late Count Forrest Columbia Winston Ohmart who has died and left in my care a garage with the following - a 1940 Ford Deluxe, 1963 split-window Corvette, a 1969 Z-28 and a 1970 SS454 Chevelle. All are original, with numbers matching and under 1,000 miles.

If you would be so kind as to send to me your home address and I would then begin the process to crate and ship these fine automobiles to your house. I would also be so bold to ask for your bank account number, routing information and your Visa and Mastercard numbers to guarantee prompt and correct identification of you as the only worthy surviving ancestor who is very much deserving to receive these cars. My fee has been graciously covered by the 2 mjillion US dollars that has been set aside for processing of these tresurers.

Your kindly response is most desired to assure the happiness of the dearly departed one.

Sincerely -Majuhobia Nigerauka III, Barrister

Oops - sorry to hijack the thread, but I just couldn't resist

Glenn; You got THAT letter too! I can't wait until my new cars show up. But first I have to find out why my bank account is missing $ 10,000.00. He promised me he wouldn't run my card until the cars showed up, and he seems so trustworthy!
