Small Block Chevrolet numbers


JimD

Recommended Posts

I'll ask here because of the wealth of knowledge and experience.

We have a non-running SBC and would like to know the original displacement. Two numbers are available; on the left rear, 460776 is cast into the block.

On the right front near the water pump mounting these numbers are stamped into the block; TO707CEJ, 180334888.

Help or guidance is appreciated.

When I saw this topic, I started to think about how many different displacements that these SBC engines were sold from the factory in cars or trucks.

No after market like 383 or such.

I came up with the following:

265, 283, 327, 350, 302, 307, 400, 262 (Chevy Monza)

To go from 262 to 400 using the same basic block & head design is a tribute to the sliderule crowd that designed it!

GM does market a 383 SBC as a crate engine.

Is this a complete SBC displacement list, or did I miss any?

I think Oldsmobile had perhaps the largest spread of engine displacements using the same basic small block design. 260, 307, 350, 403. I've had two 307s before, and a 403 punched out to 408 (.030 over). Those cylinder walls were paper-dadgum-thin on that 403 after the cylinder cleanup. Comparatively, a 260 and 307 engine has a LOT of meat in the block...same bore spacing but much smaller bores.

Looks like I missed the following:

14016376...267...79-82...2 :o

A 267 C.I. from 1979 to 1982? News to me! I'm surprised that I missed that one!

I am familiar with the 4.3 liter V-6, but a 4.3 liter V-8? I still missed it. What & where was it used in? 1979 to 1982? I am still drawing a blank! :o

I had one of those "special" 267's in my Buick regal back in the day, the only good thing about it was that I was able to re-use the stock motor mounts when I put in the 406 stoker motor I built for it! What a difference, from about 16.80 in the 1/4 mile to eventually 12.80's with street slicks!

Wow -- d'you have nitrous on that 267? I wouldn't think a stock smogger 267 would be able to break into the TEENS in the 1/4!
