I D help for sbc
Stamp on front is FC 208 SA
Shows 69 327 Block casting 3792870 Shows 62 to 65 327 Head casting 3731539 Date D 9 7 Intake 3844459 Shows 300 HP Intake The block numbers are confusing me on the year. Heads are power pack with square and triangle on front. I'm assuming mis match of parts and if heads or intake are worth good money I would remove from block. If they are nothing special they will stay on block. Engine going into 1952 jeep. Thank you for your input. |

Re: I D help for sbc
SA shows as 1962 Full Size car. If you are looking at the FC that is the prefix and does not denote the block use. Only the SA suffix.
3972870 Block shows 62-67 327 3731539 head shows 55 - 67 265/283

Re: I D help for sbc
Jeff, are the valve cove bolt holes staggered, top/bottom or straight across?
If my memory is working correctly I believe anything after '59 is straight across. Staggered would be pre '59.

Looks like Billk figured it out. 62 67 block 55 to 67 heads. So actually 55 to 59 heads by the staggered bolt holes Last edited by Jeff Stout; 01-13-2022 at 06:19 PM. Reason: more |
