RE: [Chevelle-list] Engine Numbers

[Herndon, Barye]

Thanks Mike but......., I'm pretty sure it's the original motor but the air cleaner says 396 350 hp. Any ideas? The 68 came with the option of a 350 hp didn't it? -----Original Message----- From: Mike Holleman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 9:44 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Numbers 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
