I have a slant 6 with raised numbers by the freeze plugs 2202843. Could someone tell me the year and application of the engine. It is currently in my 1954 chevy truck that I just acquired from my cousins' farm. earl |

Just behind the alternator (as in between the alternator and the block, not towards the rear of the engine) is a pad with #'s stamped on it. Gather those numbers and report back.... |

2202843 is (shakily) identified as a probable '61 or '62 170 cubic inch engine block. The stamped engine ID number Jase describes, if it is present, will help firm things up. |
