What size is my engine?

I have a 64 Stepside that I have been working on for about a year.
I keep running into a wall when it comes to figuring out what size engine I have.

The plate behind the distributor begins with an "F". I was told
if it was a 230 it would begin with an "N", if it was a 235 it would
begin with a "J", if it was a 250 it would begin with an "S" or "T".

I understand that this is probably not the original engine but I would really like to know what size engine I have.

Thanks for any help,

Rick

 

If you give me the full number I think I can tell you what it is.

Rick,

I sent you a couple of sites to look at.

But, The full casting numbers would help.

Stephen,

Here is the full number on the plate behind the distributor.

F0528TTK

Thanks for your help,

Rick

 

Any luck on my engine size?

thanks,
Rick

 

Rick:

I use a book called "catalog of chevy truck ID numbers 1946-1972". I could not find your "TK" letters which are the ones that tell you about your particular engine. The other parts of your number tell us the following:

F = built in the Flint plant
05 = built in may
28 = built on the 28th of the month (may)
T = Truck
TK = ??? (these letters tell cylinder number, CID, horsepower comp ratio, carb, trans.)

I would guess that your engine is a later year than 1972 since it's not in my book.

I know this doesn't help you but perhaps the book I have also is available for later years.

Also, tech1 here at chevy duty is always a good source of info.

Good luck.

Stephen
