Re: [Chevelle-list] motor id

Danny, The engine number you are showing is telling you that V- was built at the Flint plant,05 is the month of May, 14 should be the day(could the I be a one?) and the YS is the engine code. None of my books show a YS code, but that does not mean anything other than the code was not for a body that I have info for. If someone has that info it will tell you what the engine was, cubes,HP,comp. ratio, carb and trans.Hope this is of some use to you.

I will check the crank and see what mortec says it is. I was wondering where I could find the info on what the stamped numbers on the front of the block mean (VO5I4YS).

The casting numbers for it was a 283, 302, or 327. I narrowed it down by matching the numbers on the crankshaft which only went to one engine. Unfortunately it was to the 283. Hope that helps( if the motor is apart).
