Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Numbers

[Mike Holleman]

The numbers you seek should be on the block, just in front of the right side cylinder head. Among these numbers you will find two letters, such as EG, or EK. etc. That will tell you what HP and which transmission was used if the engine is still original. For a 68, an EG was 396/375hp, manual trans. And EK was 396/325 with a power glide.

The car is a 68 SS. And if at all possible, how to interpret the numbers to identify factory horsepower, 4 bolt mail  etc.....(or where I can find that info)...                                                                                                                thanks,                                                                 Barye
