does anyone know how to read engine codes for chevy small block motors...i was told that i have a 327 high output with 350 hp in my 57 chevy, but i want to make sure because it does not have dual point ignition as it should...please let me know if you can read the codes. The codes are as follows: F0124HF front right of block 3858174-left rear of block A216-right rear of block A216/A186-left and right heads GM17 & 3782461-these numbers i saw, but cant find them now, nor can i remember where they were. Thank you for the help!
that block didnt come with the 202 or "double hump" heads did it? because thats what is on there now.
3782461 is a head casting # that is listed for a 327, 1965-67 Chevy II, recessed filter base block and also 1966-67 327 W/Turbo-Hydra Trans., Can type oil filter block. 3858174 is a block casting # that was used in a 1967 350 Camaro.
i actually was able to find enough to know that this block number is for 64-67 327 v-8 with a max possible horsepower being 360 in the FI version put in the corvette, but thanks for the help. I appreciate it!
