engine codes

3896944 = 283

These are the others I found

H96
9 gm
VO8I2GF

Can I get some help please?

 

1965 283 Powerglide 195 HP

 

Thanks hoop

 

FWIW, I believe the H 9 6 is the date code (August 9th 1966).
My third birthday, coincidentally.

The GF code was the same for 1966 also.

 

Hmm, so either a 65 or 66? If it helps any it supposedly came out of a 67 pickup

 

8, 9, 66 would go into a 67 model probably.

 

a more detailed:

build date this number is STAMPED:
V0812GF = V=flint mich., 08=August, 12=day of the month, GF='65 '66 '67 283 p/g

casting number, this number is a raised number at time of casting:
3896944 works out to 283

this is the CASTING DATE, raised number at time of casting:
H96 = H=August, 9=9th day of the month, 6=year

this block was cast on the 9th and built (assembled) on the 12th, as a 283 destined for a powerglide trans in a big body car.

yeah, i know this is old info, but so many people get it wrong STILL, i just wanted to show the correct info so when somebody sees this there is no question.

 

Thanks Gary, I missed that GF code being for '67 also.

 

Nice, that's what I'm talking about

 

Very good!
