He said he can put any 1961 283cu motor in it... I have a 1959 Corvette and I had thought I had read in my restoration guide (I misplaced it) that starting in 1960 Chevrolet coded the engine to the body in Corvettes... Can anyone clarify this question or refer me to who can??? Thanks in advance so very much... posted: August 25, 2012       Answers (2)   retiredpartsman      coevette used the following letters oto identify different engine applications .
