Can anyone tell from the pic whether this is a 318 or 383?
The RB-blocks have a stamping plate on the front of the engine on the drivers side. There's usually little in the way, so it's easy to see and read the engine displacement. The B-blocks have a stamping plate too, but it's on the passenger side, underneath the distributor body which partially obscures it.The task is a little easier when dealing with the RBs as opposed to the Bs, as the former have a "slab" (can't think of the correct term" that is right in front of the distributor that does not exist on the B motors. On that slab the engine size is stamped.
It's a 66 and the VIN says 318 but it sure looks big in the pic? I guess it could even be a 440 if it's swapped?
All I have is the picture. It's a parts car I'd like to buy....
Would the 350s and pre-'65 361s have the early-style 4-bolt valve covers (similar to small block Chevy engines) rather than the later ones with additional bolt holes on the outer corner-ends?
The B 350 Sport Fury Engine would have been a 2x4bbl engine, as I recall. First year was 1958? Which would have meant cast iron TF-capable?
It's pretty well trashed! and I could use the parts on mine....Looks like a 66 Sport Fury and it would be a bit of a shame to part this out. There were only 3418 of these made. Most of them were crushed due to rust primarily in the trunk area.
