Search Questions:    lhamdist      how can i find out about original engine numbers for a 1957 chevy belair?   posted: 6 days ago       Answers (3)   pontiacsd      Unlike Pontiac, Chevrolet did not stamp engine blocks with a corresponding matching vehicle vin. The best you can do is a properly date coded block and plant coded block. For 57 engines were stamped with a serial number which broke down to Unit Number, Plant (F=Flint MI, T=Tonawanda, New York), Model Year and finally Engine Type. If you have the engine post the block numbers and we can help decode it, you can find the numbers on a pad, front right hand side of the block behind the water pump. posted:  5 days ago   lhamdist      thank you for responding here is the engine number that we have. F620FC once decoded will we be able to tell if its the original? posted:  5 days ago   pontiacsd      F620FC - Decodes too: F = Flint, Michigan 6 = Month (June) 20 = Day (June 20) FC = 283 - 8 Cylinder with Powerglide and 4bbl. The last piece of the puzzle would be a casting number block. Again, there is NO definitive way to tell if the engine is original to the car... posted:  5 days ago
