  • Engine: V8 Engine ID?

    I have a V8 on a '62 Champ frame, that I can't ID. I have looked at the SDC V8 Engine ID sheet, and this serial number, to me, doesn't match anything. Any help in ID'ing the engine would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    The SN on the passenger side of the intake manifold is 1554641.

    The number in the photo is the casting number for the block. On the other side of the oil filler tube, there is a machined area where the factory would have punched in a series of letters and numbers. If that area is blank, it is a replacement block that was not stamped when installed.

        Looks like a single number, like an 8 almost, maybe part of a cloverleaf?

          That is what it looks like. Cloverleaf is not just a replacement engine, but a replacement heavy duty truck engine. Fingers crossed it is in good shape internally.

            Thanks. We were told it was running a couple years ago, but supposedly has a blown head gasket. Hopefully.....
