How do I identify 455 engine?
I have a 455 that supposedly came out of a 1970 442 Cutlass.
I want to sell the engine, got laid off and I need money. My question is, how I identify the year and type of the engine without disassembly? |
You can verify the year by looking on a machined pad on the left side on the engine. It is on the block towards the fron just under the head where a large letter E will be cast into the head.
The numbers stamped on the machined pad should read something like 30MXXXXXX 3 = Oldsmobile 0 = 1970 XXXXXX = the last 6 of the VIN of the car it came out of. 455's will be stamped with 8-6 for the second number. Production was from 1968 - 1976. There will aslo be a set of numbers cast into the block on a shelf just behind the water pump nest to the oil fill tube. They will be 396021 F. Good luck with the sale. |
