ok i am also haveing trouble with my code. i just got a 65 nova ss but i am not sure that the engine thats in it is what is supposed to be in it. heres the code:

190199639
K0416FC

if anyone can help i will greatly appricate it thx

The FC suffix relates to these engines.......

FC 1955 265 Powerglide, a/c - - car
FC 1957 283 Powerglide - 4 car
FC 1969 327 tur hydro trans. 235 2 B F

I'm thinking its a 69 327......the 55 and 57 wouldn't have the bosses for the side mounts.

Sorry made mistake

0717 is july 17th

need casting date off the block to determine year

is is on top ledge somewhere same as how the block casting raised numbers code is

last number is the the last digit of the year it was cast in

for example A129 will be jan 12 '59 '69 or '79 or '89, see

and i know that it is a 70-up block because it has a TKT three digit suffix stamping code

anything '69 older was only two digit such as the other person in this thead's FC code

Fast68, what was the deal with the oil filter boss being raised on Nova's? I seem to remember something along those lines...

yah the early nova engines were like that so the oil filter could clear those chevy II chassies haha


unique blocks for those cars yeah

i totally forgot all about those til you said something haha

on a side note recently we had an old guy pull up in our shop drive with a really sharp mostly stock 64 or so chevy II nova and it had a warmed over 355 in it and it was pure bright white with all the stock trim and chrome pieces on it, and red vinyl interior that was mint condition spotless everywhere.,


the whole neighborhood was all over it checking it out

he wanted us to do a repair on one of the hood hinges.

he only gave like 1500 or some crazy sheep liek that for it and was one of those tightwads who manmages to find a steal by some crazy miracle but on purpose.

heard he sold it and now has a different old muscle car i forgot what now and got it for next to nothing as well

crazy.......
