Technical sbc decoding this needs to be a stickie

https://nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html

 

The problem with (some of) these internet threads and not here specifically is the perpetuation of a lot of inaccurate information from the non GM issue I.D. guides.

 

Nasty Z site very good place...

 

It's a start...but certainly not complete.

Decoding SBC's is easy! They're ALL Corvettes!

 

Only when they have Corvette valve covers....then it is for sure a Corvette engine.....!

 

And orange paint.

 

I thought that was only 327s.

 

My corvette has a van engine in it...

 

I was talking to a guy recently & I told that I had a 50 Merc wit a Chevy in it
and he said a Corvette engine in it & I said No 327/300 from 63

Just my 3.5 cents

Live Learn & Die a Fool

 

Well now it’s worth more. You can take it out and sell it and not be lying about it coming out of a corvette.
